...future fortunes of Eurocommunism are likely to depend on the lead of the 1.7 million-member Italian party, which started it all in 1973 when Berlinguer launched his strategy of the "historic compromise." There is general agreement that the P.C.I, is entering a prolonged period of soul searching and internal debate. The main lines of the struggle are expected to be drawn between the hard-line left wing of the party, which has never been comfortable with Berlinguer's gradualism, and members of his own right wing who have argued for even more moderation...

Last week the congressional Joint Economic Committee, of which Senator Bentsen is chairman, began special hearings into the productivity sag. From expert witnesses, the committee heard that despite the recent decline, the U.S. still has the world's highest level of productivity, but the lead is shrinking rapidly. In 1950 it took seven Japanese or three German workers to match the industrial output of one American; today two Japanese or 1.3 Germans can do as well. Last year the Japanese had a productivity increase of 8%; the U.S. gain was only .3%. In this year's first quarter...

...colt and his veteran jockey, Ruben Hernandez. Coastal had raced but three times this year after an eye injury late in his two-year-old season forced a long layoff. He was fresh and ready to run the Belmont distance, and run he did. Hernandez held him off the lead through the first mile of the race, rating him gently behind the leaders, well outside of traffic.
