...meantime, a group of landowners alarmed by this prospect initiated an enormous lobbying campaign against enforcement, complete with full page ads in the Washington Post. They went to court and argued that an environmental impact statement (which would delay enforcement by at least a year) was required before the rules could be carried out. A federal district court in Fresno, California ruled in their favor. Taylor, a champion of the 160-acre restriction since the 1920's, has dismissed the lawsuit as "another one of their delaying tactics. If you include human beings in the environmental impact, the result...
...major parties do fail to find any new modus vivendi after Andreotti's expected resignation, the only option is early elections. The prospect, risky as it might be, did not bother many Christian Democrats as much as the step-by-inexorable-step Communist advance on power. But elections would doubtless be a trauma that neither Communist nor Christian Democrat would savor right away, and there are likely to be weeks of painful maneuvering and countermaneu-vering before they are willing to face that drastic ultimate step. In the meantime, the violent voices resounding through the streets of Italy...

The affair did not amuse Premier Menachem Begin, who told colleagues: "Sharon is disloyal. His days in the Cabinet are numbered." Still, to pacify Israelis who are upset about the prospect of withdrawal, Begin's government approved three new settlements in the West Bank and legalized another that had already been built without authorization...
...prospect for the industry is a long period of moderate, steady growth, extending into the '80s. By 1985, according to one Lockheed economist, the world's airlines will have to spend up to $57 billion to replace present fleets of arthritic 707s and DC-8s. The expectation is that most airlines will turn to wide-bodied jets, to reduce mileage and passenger seat costs. Currently, Boeing engineers are working on the specifications for a new 180-to 200-seat jet, which it hopes United and Delta will buy; the plane would seat seven abreast and, Boeing claims, effectively...
