...expulsion of 200,000 ethnic Chinese in the past nine months. The Chinese were targeted because of their wide spread involvement in the black market; but they constituted Viet Nam's major entrepreneurial class. They managed the rice trade, the major ports, the distribution systems and several key industries-notably coal...
...three men who sat down together at Camp David last week to negotiate an Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty could be forgiven if they sensed the unseen presence of two other key figures at the deliberations. Iran's Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini and Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, had not, of course, been invited to the talks. But their warm and well-photographed embrace in Tehran injected a note of urgency into Secretary of State Cyrus Vance's attempts to persuade Israel's Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Egypt's Premier Moustafa Khalil to resolve...

Southern California's spectacularly beautiful Long Beach Marina has been booked solidly since the day it opened in 1956. Many private marina owners will not accept live-aboards because of their demands on dockside services. As a result of berth control, there is a whole subsubculture of hide-aboards, who tie up what looks like a weekend cruiser and then surreptitiously move in, lock, schlock...
