...casualties. Nonetheless, one of the most exhaustive inquiries into the status of the conflict yet compiled offers considerable evidence that the weight of U.S. power, 21 years after the big build-up began, is beginning to make itself felt. Within the next 18 months or so, White House officials maintain, the increasing impact of that strength may bring the enemy to the point where he could simply be unable to continue fighting...
Britain's ancient pride in its merchant marine has been battered recently by some mighty waves. First the stately Queen Mary, too stuffy for enjoyable Caribbean cruising and too expensive to maintain on the declining transatlantic run, was sold to the city of Long Beach, Calif. After its 1,001st Atlantic crossing and a nostalgic final voyage around South America, the 31-year-old three-stacker will be converted into a floating museum and entertainment center.

Until De Gaulle's visit to Quebec, purred Couve, French Canada "was enclosed in its bigotry and provincialism...
Facing up to the question of how to finance expansion and maintain quality, the hard-pressed regents of the University of California last week rejected Governor Ronald Reagan's plan to levy a tuition charge a year from now, then turned around to endorse an unspecified increase in student fees. As a result, both Reagan and his opponents among the regents could claim a moral victory-but it was also clear that tuition at the state university is still an extremely touchy issue in politically volatile California...
