...opening negotiating ploy? Soothing words intended for domestic consumption? Or the final word on the politically sensitive subject of Japan's self-imposed lid on U.S. auto imports of 1.76 million vehicles annually? Japan's unilateral promise, which is now in its third year, expires at the end of March 1984. Japan agreed to the restriction only under pressure; now that car sales for Detroit are picking up (12.6% ahead of a year ago), it was expected to resist another extension of the agreement. At a Tokyo breakfast meeting last week with Japanese industrial leaders, Sosuke...
Indeed, they are helpless before more than the Player's guile--and know it. During the second act of the play the two speculate on the nature of death, comparing it to being inside a lidded box: "Life in a box is better than no life at all. . . You'd have a chance at least. You could lie there thinking--well, at least I'm not dead! In a minute someone's going to bang on the lid and tell me to come out," Rosencrantz says...

Brown's spread offense, the only formation it had employed since the 10-minute mark, never really clicked. Meanwhile, the cagers went to the races, capitalizing on Bruin turnovers to break by the quicker Brown team...
...hard-working Deukmejian, who spent 16 years in the state legislature and four as state attorney general, promptly tackled the deficit by clamping a lid on all hiring of new state employees, banning out-of-state travel by state officials and ordering a 2% cut in operating funds that will mostly affect the state university system and state colleges. This will save only some $70 million, however, and Deukmejian almost certainly will have to raise taxes to balance the budget, as required by the state constitution. That will be politically awkward, since he campaigned on a pledge to fight...
