...told, the job of rebuilding will run into billions of dollars. Nine of the biggest hotels in the hotel district, including the Beirut Hilton, Phoenicia Inter-Continental and Holiday Inn, were so badly damaged that renovation will take at least a year. The stately St. Georges Hotel, grande dame of the district, will probably have to be razed and rebuilt. The light industries, such as clothing, foodstuffs and plastics, that ringed Beirut have also been shattered. In Mekalles alone, 30 factories were destroyed in the battle over the Tel Zaatar refugee camp (TIME...
Rear Admiral William Benkert, chief of the Coast Guard's Office of Merchant Vessel Safety, indignantly denies the environmentalists' charges. "We haven't been sitting on our dead ass," he protests. But someone is. The U.S. has yet to ratify the liability convention adopted by the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization in 1969.

From its unlikely beginning at what became known as the Haystack Prayer Meeting, the U.S. Protestant missionary movement has depended on collegiate enthusiasm, and that enthusiasm is increasing at a remarkable rate.

Inter-Varsity, an Evangelical group that began in England and now has chapters on 600 U.S. campuses, had to turn away thousands of others because the university's domed Assembly Hall could hold...
...million Latin Americans live in extreme poverty, the commission would shift to the poorest nations all direct aid by the U.S. To help more developed countries like Brazil and Mexico, it favors large grants of new capital to international lending agencies. Such funding could enable the World and Inter-American Development banks to ease the burden of recession-generated debt that now erodes up to 40% of export earnings of some Latin American na tions. Says Linowitz: "We're focusing on how to permit these people to go forward without being strangled by their heavy obligations." The commission report...
...dozen years, Maxine Cheshire has spun out a column of capital chatter-Spiro Agnew's literary adventures, Elizabeth Taylor's offstage antics at the Kennedy Center, Muhammad Ali's hasty exit from a White House party-that the Washington Post and some 300 subscribing newspapers generally inter among the family pages. In recent months, however, Cheshire's byline has been strutting on the front page above scoops on the hottest continuing scandal of the year: alleged efforts by South Korean agents to bribe U.S. Congressmen...
