...what he wants out of actors and settings, including a new side to George Segal--but he hasn't done enough yet to know what he should want. Where Milos (Taking Off) Forman maintains comedy almost consistently, and John Schlesinger in Midnight Cowboy--another New York film by a non-American--invests even his comedy with mournfulness. Passer switches erratically from the theatrical, wisecracking comedy when Segal performs so well to genuine gutwrenching--to say nothing of a few misguided "lyrical" beach scenes...
...provision of the new investment credit that bans foreign-made machinery from qualifying for the tax break. That rule is supposed to be dropped when Nixon removes the 10% surtax on all imported goods. But the protectionist rule, which has the effect of adding to the price of non-American capital goods above and beyond the increases brought about by the surcharge and monetary changes, is already fiercely resented abroad and with good reason. In the past, U.S. trade officials have registered strong opposition when foreign governments adopted similar measures that might impede American exports...

Throughout most of the non-American world, football means soccer. It is finally beginning to catch...
...intended to heighten its appeal to Western capitalists and Asian Communists alike. Dr. C. Hart Schaaf, 57, an outspoken and visionary Indiana professor who in ten years as chief executive became known as "Mr. Mekong," was reassigned to Ceylon. U.N. executives felt that the chief should be non-American, particularly if the project is ultimately to draw the support of North Viet Nam. They selected Switzerland's Victor H. Umbricht, head of CIBA Ltd., the drug manufacturer...
