Knock on Wood. As if bent on self-destruction, man has made his water and air poisonous. Highways, airways and commuter railways have become choked to the suffocation point. The problems of the present may be deferrable, those of the future soluble. But by whom? Americans have traditionally sacrificed to educate their young and believed in the next generation's competence to settle a troubled world. Today that assumption is widely questioned. Education in its Latin origin means to bring up, but on American campuses recently, extremists have often made the process seem more like a bringing down...
Next time around Reddin may be involved in the race more directly. While he thought about running this year, he has confided to friends, he decided the notion was "too presumptuous"-for the present. After four years as KTLA's chief pontificator, Reddin, now only 52, may find the idea modest enough...

At the present time, though, the Yanqui dollar has begun to look like a more formidable weapon. U.S. banks normally underpin Peruvian industry and trade with about $150 million in loans; these funds have been reduced sharply since the expropriation arguments began. Another potential $700 million in U.S. private investment in Peru, mostly in copper mining, is being held...
