...Communist ascendancy is not merely a product of Christian Democratic weakness. The PCI now participates in five regional governments and in the municipal governments of all the major cities north of Rome. There it has been able to provide effective and honest public administration, in sharp contrast to the DC's dismal record. More importantly, the PCI stands for an "Italian road to socialism" sharply distinct from the Soviet model...
...investigation of a teen-age girl who wrote to the SWP for a school project or the bureau's ludicrous attempts to write divisive letters in the "hip" lingo of the Movement. Many liberals would go further and argue that the whole enterprise was basically a simple product of Hoover's obsessions, because none of the groups targeted represented a plausible threat to national security. But if one believes, as I do, that the anti-war movement played a decisive role in forcing the end of the Vietnam war by limiting American military and political options, and that...
...economic recovery continued to accelerate as first-quarter statistics showed an annual increase of 7.5% in the gross national product.

Detroit was forecasting a 10.5 million car year, the second best ever. Profits were up, retail sales were high, and even the long depressed housing industry was on the rise again. Unemployment remained at an unacceptable 7.5%, but this was a promising drop from...
...kraft wrapping paper from the U.S.'s West Coast to the Far East. The Soviet price: $38. Russian ships will haul coffee or sisal from Kenya to Europe for half of the conference rate, machine tools from West Germany to Canada at a 45% reduction, or indeed any product at whatever discount will win the business...
Rare Case. By assembling cars in the U.S., VW can protect itself against further damaging currency fluctuations and perhaps cut production costs by $200 per car, a rare case in which a product can be manufactured more cheaply in the U.S. than overseas. One thing held VW back from the obvious move: labor unions feared that it would cause further layoffs in German plants. But VW proposes to retool its Emden plant, which has assembled Rabbits for the U.S., to make other export models, particularly Dashers and Audi Foxes. German labor leaders finally agreed to that plan...
