...threatening to pursue into Thailand its war against Cambodian Khmer Rouge guerrillas still loyal to the ousted Pol Pot regime. Many of the estimated 600,000 Cambodians who have fled to Thailand or border camps over the past two years have been sympathetic to either the Khmer Rouge or non-Communist groups known collectively as the Khmer Serei. All oppose the Hanoi-installed regime of Heng Samrin in Phnom-Penh. By midweek virtually all of the Vietnamese had withdrawn. But the action appeared to have slowed, if not halted, a United Nations program to repatriate to Cambodia any refugees volunteering...
...airline Aeroflot was sufficient to reverse the no-go decision of the cash-strapped Costa Rican Olympic Committee. Thailand, on the other hand, was offered only a 50% discount on Aeroflot in exchange for altering its plan to stay home. No thanks, said the Thais, who, along with other non-Communist Southeast Asian nations, are supporting the boycott. Jordan, which is sending a team to Moscow, was reportedly promised a visit by the Bolshoi Ballet. In South America and Lathi America, the Soviets have let it be known that free room, board arid round-trip Aeroflot charters are available...
...Vietnamese clearly believe military strength is a necessity. In their view, Viet Nam is an island of Communist revolution surrounded by suspicion.

More particularly, it has sought recognition for its surrogate in Cambodia, the 17-month-old regime of Heng Samrin. Earlier this month, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach launched the latest round of this campaign with a tour of Southeast Asian capitals. The mission produced mixed results. In Malaysia, for example, Prime Minister Datuk Hussein Onn hinted at a willingness to compromise on Cambodia. In Thailand, talks broke down when Thach angrily rejected Bangkok's demand for a neutral Cambodian government...
...first glance, the world oil scene looks brighter. Just as economists predicted, sharply rising oil prices and the slowing world economy have at long last begun to put a pinch in petroleum demand. Consumption in the non-Communist world is down by about 3% from 1979 levels, and in the U.S., oil consumption was by last week a full 10.3% lower than a year ago. This slump in demand has resulted in a softening of spot-market oil prices. Petroleum that was selling for $40 per bbl. in late December now goes for about $33. World oil stocks...
