Fodor's Europe 1983 Fodor's Modern Guides; $12.95 This classic series, founded by Eugene Fodor in 1936, is sober and serious, at times more British Victorian in outlook than modern American. (Describing Europeans in his introduction, British Writer John Ardagh intones: "What does Europe really have in common, beyond geography?... Above all, we comprise the great Caucasian family of white peoples ...") Fodor's is especially trustworthy on hotels and restaurants. A knowledgeable, well-organized, basically middle-class peregrination through 33 European countries, colonies and principalities that leaves no worthy stones unturned, even if they...

Paul Volcker, who was discussing the outlook for money growth and interest rates before a congressional committee that held hearings on his reappointment as Federal Reserve Board chairman. The rumpled, cigar-puffing Volcker has become the staid financial community's first superstar.

Faced with Syrian intransigence, Israeli officials informed Shultz last week of their plans to pull back their troops to more defensible positions within Lebanon. Such a maneuver, however, could take some of the pressure off Damascus toward any move at all and invite renewed fighting between Christians and Druze in the Chouf Mountains southeast of Beirut. Worse yet, the redeployment could lead to a de facto partition of Lebanon between Israel and Syria, with a weakened Lebanese government in control only of Beirut...
...early returns promising, Wall Street analysts have begun boosting their profit estimates for Ford. They now think the automaker will ring up profits of $1 billion this year and could earn as much as $2.2 billion in 1984. Says Petersen: "These could be some very good years." The good outlook has helped lift Ford stock from last year's low of 16⅝ to last week's close at 55. "We must be doing something right," quips Poling...
