...since 1938, when Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek shared the title as Man and Wife of the Year, has an Asian been selected Man of the Year. The main story is the work of Senior Writer Lance Morrow, who wrote last year's Man of the Year cover about another foreign leader who acted boldly: Anwar Sadat. Staff Writer Patricia Blake, who learned about Communism as an expert on Soviet affairs, wrote Teng's biography and the article on life in China. Reporter-Researchers Laurie Upson Mamo and Oscar Chiang also contributed to the 21 -page package...

Since the U.S. was terminating its 1954 mutual defense treaty with Taiwan, said Sun, the republic had no choice but to "establish a more self-sustaining defense industry." It was a popular move. In front of the main Buddhist temple in Taipei, nuns began collecting contributions for national defense from passersby. In just a week the public donated a total of $17 million to the government for the purchase of weapons...
Most of SALT'S major points, of course, had already been negotiated and were contained in a 62-page draft. The main part of the draft is a treaty running to 1985, limiting both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. to 2,250 strategic weapons systems: a mix of long-range bombers, land-based inter-continental ballistic missiles and the submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

In fact, because the U.S. now deploys about 2,150 strategic systems, the Pentagon actually would...
...other main disputes involved the number of cruise missiles that could be put aboard a plane for aerial launching. The Soviets were seeking to restrict the number to 20 per plane, the most that can be loaded onto a B-52 bomber. But because the U.S. is considering outfitting jumbo jets to carry as many as 80 cruise missiles, Vance pressed the Soviets for a compromise that would set an average limit of about 30 per plane...
...main reason for the price hike was clear. OPEC wanted to regain the purchasing power it had lost because of the dollar's decline, 28% since December 1976. Despite huge oil revenues, eight of the OPEC member nations ran deficits in the first half of 1978; as a group, they became the biggest international borrowers, with a total of $5.2 billion in loans and withdrawals. Surprisingly, many American businessmen do not blame OPEC for raising the price as much as it did. "If you take an 18-month time period," says Carlton Jones, manager of energy analysis at Pace...
