...STANDOUT OF Ronstadt's latest, though is Little Feat pulser, almost reminiscent of "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me." Carried along by Russ Kunkel's sure-handed, driving drum beat and a steady Kenny Edwards bass line, Ronstadt displays the power of her sharp, brassy voice in a heavily throaty verse that rises to an upbeat, bold chorus. The bright, '70s rocker contrasts strongly to "Oooh Baby Baby," a mellow Smokey Robinson tune in which Ronstadt uses two male backup vocalists who add a sweet falsetto giving the song a Motown-like sound.

His firm stand against Italian Communists won him the backing of the pro-Christian Democrat forces, led by Florence's powerful Giovanni Cardinal Benelli.

As Cardinal he not only visited his parishes but often stayed on for two or three days to learn their needs. Three years ago, when a cholera epidemic broke out in Naples, he visited the hospitals each...
...Bank President Robert McNamara severely chastised the wealthiest nations for a trend toward increased protectionism that seems aimed at the rising amount of finished goods made by the less developed countries (LDCs). He noted that the rich countries still sell about five times as much manufactured products to the poor countries as they buy from them, and that the LDCs absorb fully 30% of the industrial world's exports of finished products. So rather than worrying about the LDCS' "minuscule" exports of such products, McNamara said, the richer countries would be wise to help the LDCS continue...
