...progress, Malaysia still has serious problems. Its rubber-heavy export structure is vulnerable to price fluctuations, and last week, with rubber down to 160 a pound, Malaysia was forced to seek more orders from the Soviet markets, which already constitute its biggest buyers. And the country's large and enterprising Chinese minority still threatens to cause trouble over the establishment of Malay as the official language. In East Malaysia - the Kansas-sized states of Sarawak and Sabah on Borneo's northern coast - Communist terrorists based in Indonesia harass rubber plantations and lines of communications, diverting money and manpower...
...next act will come when time runs out on the current contracts next week. Following the script, Reuther will go before TV cameras to announce his "target company"-the one he will personally meet at the bargaining table to pound out a pattern for the rest of the industry.

All former local officials, including all the West Bank mayors and most city employees, have stayed on their jobs under Israeli rule. Wherever possible, Israel is keeping Jordanian law and custom intact. Thus schoolchildren will get their books free...
Before his latest injury, Davis had been developing well in the Patriots preseason practice at Andover. "He was quick and agile," said Boston defensive line coach Jesse Richardson about the six-foot-six 235-pound bruiser. "It's too bad that his injury set him back so that I never had a chance to see him under game conditions. He seemed to have much potential...
