...most interesting news to emerge last week, however, involved the intervention of a superpower in the bloodiest and potentially the most dangerous of the world's atavistic conflicts. Moscow hailed its 20-year treaty of non-aggression and mutual cooperation with New Delhi as a move designed to forestall total warfare between India and Pakistan. It probably is that in part, but the accord, by apparently ending India's nonalignment, also promises important benefits for the Soviet Union. It gives the Russians influence and status on the Indian subcontinent, perhaps including ports of call and bunkering facilities...
Interflug's low fares also pose a problem. After studying the possibility of using Schönefeld, Swissair concluded that it could not compete there profitably. For the same reason, Austrian Airlines, which has a mutual landing agreement that permits it to operate out of Schönefeld, does not make use of the privilege. If East Germany really intends to attract Western airlines, it will have to raise Interflug's subsidized fares on competing routes, and that in turn might well make Schönefeld less attractive to travelers. But even the highly preliminary talks held...
During the next few months, some 8.5 million Americans will receive a check that is almost as rare these days as a winning lottery ticket: a partial refund on their automobile insurance premiums. The lucky recipients are policyholders of State Farm Mutual, the nation's largest auto insurer, which revealed this week a $112.2 million underwriting profit for the first six months of 1971, compared with an $18.4 million loss in the same period last year. The company's overall earnings after taxes have shot up to $108 million -an astonishing 500% improvement on last year...

State Farm chose to make refunds, since lower rates might be hard to raise if profits fall in the future. But the effect is the same. All together, the company will distribute $30 million to policyholders in 31 states and the District of Columbia, the areas where its operations were profitable...
Common Fear. To deal with these problems, adoptive parents-most notably those in Montreal's Open Door Society, a pioneering organization in transracial adoption-sometimes sponsor seminars on black history or meet to discuss mutual difficulties They may encourage their children to get together regularly with black youngsters, to study their heritage and to remember their natural parents. For example, Kirk's 18-year-old daughter Debbie, a Puerto Rican, spent a month working at a day-care center in Puerto Rico. She explains: "I wanted to see the people that I was from-the culture, the language...
