...making his first trip abroad as President. Foreign leaders are curious about him. To them, he remains an unknown and sometimes baffling phenomenon. They acknowledge that he has assumed control of U.S. foreign policy but wonder if he knows how to manage it. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, in particular, distrusts what he considers an evangelistic style and inexperience. "He is making policy from the pulpit," scoffs Schmidt privately. In an effort to strike up a badly needed rapport, the President and the Chancellor will have a private talk during the sessions...
REVERENTLY I TRUDGED down the well-worn stairs to the basement of the sacred Rat. To Boston rockers, the beer-soaked carpet of the Rathskellar is hallowed ground: it bears the libations of scores touched by a wayward muse. This particular night, the faithful fixtures at the Rat included familiar faces. Musicians, regulars on the local scene, conferred in the dark corner near the mixing board; groupies, punks and curious bedazzled figures crowded the tables. At the bar a gauntlet of black leather elbows lifted steins in homage to the spectacle on stage...
...Dean's, tends toward the first sort, Paxton's toward the second. His is not personal gesture in the sense of creating a specific presence of character, as does local dancer Deborah Chassler using similar improvisation techniques. We never find out who Paxton is, beyond the performer of this particular dance, embracing the original meaning of "modern dance"--an individual's self-expression.

Paxton's expression doesn't follow the logic of choreography...
Overall, first-quarter profits should be up 16% over last year's period (see chart), paced mainly by brisk retail sales generally and strong auto sales in particular. The Big Three automakers will report first-quarter earnings this week, and they are expected to be good. For the year, profits should be up 20%, according to some projections. That is not as good as the 30% or so for 1976-but then nobody expected those gains to continue; last year's profits were rebounding from recession. The present level of profits still leaves many U.S. corporations awash...
Hesburgh searched for one letter in particular, a reply from Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who had been offered a Notre Dame degree this year. He finally found it: a polite no. Hesburgh was disappointed-but he had already landed his friend Jimmy Carter as the commencement speaker. The graduation ceremony will be a deliberate show of support for Carter on human rights, one of Hesburgh's passions. Hesburgh will award degrees to Bishop Donal Lament, who was ousted from Rhodesia; Stephen Cardinal Kim, who has fought against government repression in South Korea; and Paul Cardinal Arnes, who has spoken out against...
