...climate for foreign investment, to draft a five-year plan and to win additional aid from Indonesia's nine major non-Communist creditors, who will meet in Amsterdam next week to decide how far they will go along with Suharto. One little example of Suharto's personal impact is the recent proliferation of his portrait throughout Indonesia. About the only place Sukarno's face still shows is on the old rupiah bills that his free-spending ways helped make almost worthless...
...which had been commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, received its world premiere in Manhattan under the assured baton of Seiji Ozawa. Confirming Ozawa's observation that Takemitsu "paints in watercolors," November Steps created a 23-minute mood of hushed mystery that was almost visual in its stunning impact.

The new three-stage Spartan anti-ballistic missile will also increase...
Object of Ridicule. Far from making Christianity more relevant, says Ramsey, such woolly-headed pronouncements make it at best an object of ridicule, at worst a menace to prudent political judgment. The impact of these declamations is also weakened by the fact that the activist theologians cannot possibly speak for all Christians, given the differences of political viewpoints within the church. Ramsey finds a certain irony in the fact that the secularist syndrome is prevalent among Protestants, who are now seeking "to assume decisions that belong in the realm of the state." Ramsey argues that "not even the 'magisterium...
