Even in non-Communist countries, the uncertainty of who might be listening turned U.S. envoys into near paranoids. On a trip in Southern Africa, Assistant Secretary of State Chester Crocker refused to send any reports to Washington until he could do so personally. "It's incredible the impact of this on all of us," said a State Department official. In an age of wondrous globe-spanning communications, the superpower that pioneered the technology found its creations turned against...
...commercial space service. Despite its vast experience in space, however, the Soviet Union stands little chance of capturing much of the satellite market in the near future.

Since most satellites made in the non-Communist world contain American parts, Moscow may have to persuade Washington to ease its restrictions if the Soviets are to be leading satellite launchers...

In Western Europe, for example, agricultural output has been growing four times as fast as food consumption; in the U.S., farm...
...devices for automobile exhausts. The U.S. could get along for about six months without imports. South Africa has 71% of the world's reserves of manganese, which is vital to the making of batteries, various chemicals, steel and cast iron. U.S. supplies could last nearly two years and non-Communist countries have excess manganese that could fill...
