About the Japanese economic growth [June 26], I am sure that most Americans misunderstand the situation. Yes, I agree that the Japanese economy is an export-led one, but every American must also know that the U.S. is a consumer's economy. So if the American people do not reduce their consumption, I will not be surprised when the exchange rate between the two countries is 1 yen to 200 U.S. dollars. How about that...
Indeed, only Jimmy Carter can make those repairs. In the American political system of checks and balances among competing interests, he must recognize that the Chief Executive can be effective only if he finds a way to lead vigorously. To do this, he must combine long-range vision with tough management and a willingness to engage in political give and take. In all these areas, despite great personal assets, Carter still...

Peru must try to protect the remains of diverse cultures spanning more than 3,000 years. Even when guards and inspections are used, some officials concede that bribery often eases the way for thefts. Yet another complication is a thriving trade in bogus pre-Columbian pieces. Often using the same techniques as their ancestors, the forgers are so skilled that even experts can have trouble distinguishing the fakes...
