...cover story, written by Laurence Barrett and edited by Michael Demarest, attempts to assess not only the import of the Glassboro gathering but the whole range of foreign-policy problems faced by the U.S. and the Soviet Union. TIME bureaus all over the world contributed to that assessment, but, sometimes, getting the story out of Glassboro proved hardest. Communications were a shambles, and reporters were reduced to queuing up outside a few phone booths in the yard. At one point, Bruce Nelan was trying impatiently to get a call through to New York on the overloaded trunk line...
...work; at times openly satirical, at others tragically serious. The plot, based on Nikolai Leskov's story, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District, tells of a frustrated wife who eventually destroys the men around her. All the characters are thoroughly unsympathetic. The recording, part of Capitol's new import of Russian phonography, is disappointing. As the wife, Niconora Andreyeva has spirited dramatic presence, but vocally she is insecure. Tenor Vyascheslav Radzievsky, as her husband, has a thin, weary voice, possibly because he forces it at top volume no matter what the circumstances. The many supporting roles are also sung...
...past shipments of military hardware. Food is becoming increasingly scarce. The government long ago decreed three meatless days a week, has told Egyptians to eat macaroni instead of their beloved rice, and now faces the prospect of a macaroni shortage unless it can find a way to import vast quantities of wheat...
Modest and mixed though it may be, the improvement was especially welcome, since the downturn that had been hurting Detroit seemed not to affect imports. In fact, sales of foreign-made autos are running 14% ahead of last year, when a record 658,000 imports were sold in the U.S., and foreign automakers now expect to sell better than 700,000 cars by year's end. The likelihood of an import record is even more remarkable since Volkswagen, though still accounting for well over half of all imports, is selling no more cars in the U.S. than...
Pleasant Headache. But impressive gains are being scored by others, as evidenced by the No. 2 import, West Germany's G.M.-made Opel, which has sold 21,000 cars in the U.S. so far this year, almost double last year's pace. Partly accounting for the foreigners' success is the fact that most have escaped the adverse safety publicity that has plagued domestic carmakers. When Washington's new safety standards take effect on 1968 models, however, the tables are likely to be turned. Automotive News recently reported that ten foreign makers may have to drop...
