...twelve- member European Community loomed larger than ever. In Palm Springs, Calif., where President Reagan was vacationing, U.S. Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter announced last week that the Administration was prepared to slam the door by Jan. 30 on more than $400 million worth of West European imports, including Italian white wine, French cognac and British gin. The Europeans came right back with threatened new barriers against such U.S. products as corn-gluten feed, soy cakes, rice and almonds. Yeutter spoke darkly of possible "major disruptions in international trade." In Paris, a French trade minister warned that Europe would respond...
...MOCA announced with much fanfare that it had agreed to buy, for $11 million spread interest-free over six years, a group of works by Rauschenberg, Oldenburg, Rothko and others from Count Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, the Italian industrialist who was one of its trustees.

It decided last week that it would review the decision of a Washington appellate panel that last March rejected the Government's assertion of a virtually unfettered right to bar several foreign visitors, including Nicaragua's Interior Minister Tomas Borge Martinez and former Italian General Nino Pasti. In the meantime, Randall remains in the U.S. while preparing to make her case before an immigration appeals board. But in a federal lawsuit she is pressing a separate challenge to McCarran-Walter itself. Her suit has been joined by PEN American Center, a writers' advocacy group, and eight prominent American...
...West Berlin verdict and the subsequent sanctions may not be the end of international embarrassment for Damascus. A Turkish court has reportedly issued an arrest warrant for a Syrian diplomat accused of ordering the murder of a Jordanian diplomat in 1985. In addition, Austrian and Italian authorities investigating last December's airport massacres in Vienna and Rome are seeking indications of Syrian involvement...
