...story in town. The company secrecy was deliberate policy, and so was the uncertainty created among those who stayed. "I hope some of them will look into their performance and realize they could do better," says J. Wade Miller, vice president for personnel and organization. But there could be less favorable results for Goodrich, and not only in the loss of local good will in a community that backed the company in its struggle with Northwest. One group of white-collar workers, seeking job security, has asked to join the United Rubber Workers, which already represents 12,500 Goodrich factory...
...Nicolaas Diedrichs and Paul Volcker, U.S. Treasury Under Secretary, framed a compromise. It would permit South Africa to sell a certain amount of new gold to the International Monetary Fund whenever the country's balance of payments was in deficit and the free price sank to $35 or less.

U.S. officials contend that security problems and the cost of Vietnamizing the war make bridge-building unrealistic now. They deny any change in policy, saying that Nixon is simply waiting...
...mannerisms are so arch and calculated that one half expects to find a key implanted in her back. Still, the Widow Levi is by way of becoming a classic repertory role. Over 50 women have played her on Broadway and in road companies. The stage version is less than 300 performances away from the longest-running musical record held by My Fair Lady. It now stars Pearl Bailey, who heads an all-Negro company. Until the topless or the all-nude version comes along, a windup Dolly will have to suffice...
