...reasons behind Shevchenko's action appeared murky at first. Regarded by his U.N. colleagues as an arrogant, hardline Communist apparatchik, Shevchenko clearly had not been moved by a sudden, overwhelming yearning for freedom. Moreover, the move seemingly cut short a brilliant career. First posted to the U.N. in 1963 as a counselor in the Soviet Mission, Shevchenko served in New York for seven years. The Ukrainian-born diplomat then returned to Moscow as an adviser to Foreign Minister Gromyko and reached ambassadorial rank at the unusually early age of 40. In 1973 he was sent back...

Carter went along...
Stocks have been long overdue for a recovery. From almost the moment that Jimmy Carter moved into the White House, investors began moving out of the market. As the slide has continued, Wall Street has begun to look more and more like a bargain basement just waiting for shoppers. Last week they came pouring in, driven by random pieces of upbeat economic news (a slowdown in the growth of the money supply, a hefty increase in industrial output during March, a firming dollar overseas) as well as a juicy-though unfounded-rumor that Exxon Corp. had struck...
