PHAROAH SANDERS, KARMA (impulse!) Sanders reaches to the religions of the Far East for his spiritual overtones, using an assortment of percussion instruments, horns, bells and even incantations. In The Creator Has a Master Plan, sensuous, mesmerizing sounds roll over repeated phrases, curling peaceably upward like incense. In Colors, Pharoah's tenor saxophone begins a tempest of cries and emphatic screeches that hint at lurking discord in the universe. The harmonious moments of his music, though, far outnumber the discomforting ones, and suggest a passionate belief in man's perfectibility...
...question remains: How and when does the Pentagon plan to use chemical and biological weapons? There are three basic roles that such weapons might play: aggressive, defensive or deterrent. The U.S. has yet to ratify the 1925 Geneva Protocol outlawing the use of chemical-biological weapons, though it did approve a 1966 U.N. resolution to the same effect. In 1943, Franklin Roosevelt pledged that the U.S. would use those weapons only if an enemy used them first. Under State and Defense Department pressure in 1959, however, Congress refused to make formal the "no first strike" rule. Still...
Suharto and his economists early this spring launched a five-year development plan aimed at more effectively exploiting the nation's huge natural wealth. The plan emphasizes food production, irrigation, rehabilitation of the infrastructure and land-sea-air communications. If all goes well, Indonesia will be self-sufficient in rice production by 1974. The government also hopes to persuade 3,000,000 women to adopt birth-control methods. Exports, worth $643 million last year, are important in the country's growth plans. By 1974, Indonesia hopes to raise its export of primary commodities such as oil, rubber...
Many Economies. For all the successes of Suharto's technocrats, Indonesia's persisting problems are staggering. Unless the benefits of stabilization filter down to the masses soon, political problems may surface again. The new five-year plan is dependent in part on foreign aid, which totals $500 million this year, $208 million of that from the U.S. A drop in assistance could cripple the plan. So could a bad harvest. The bureaucracy remains often corrupt, inefficient and underemployed, and civil service reform is a long way off. The nation's Chinese minority (about...
Frei seemed to have made everybody more or less happy, but he had not reckoned on price increases that resulted from rising world demand for copper. When Frei worked out his plan, copper had been averaging about 290 a pound; last week on the London Metal Exchange it sold for 690. Although the rise benefits both Chile and its U.S. partners, many Chileans are displeased...
