...that cause, Casaroli's travels have been endless, his achievements notable. Since 1963, among other things, he has reestablished diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia and rebuilt the shattered hierarchies of Hungary and Czechoslovakia. China is a current concern. With typical Casaroli finesse, the Vatican is maintaining an office on Taiwan, but no nuncio has been appointed-a signal that overtures from Peking are welcome...
Later this year the Lahaina Restoration Foundation will have almost totally rebuilt Carthaginian II (named for the fictional vessel in James Michener's Hawaii), which will be a true replica of a 19th century trader. One of the foundation's major enterprises is a marine research center which is trying to preserve the endangered humpbacks, of which there are perhaps only 850 left. (By dialing 667-9316 you can hear them "singing.")

...flack, a pressagent. But he worked his way up so fast that, before the end of the Depression, he and his wife Hilda were able to move into the house on Gramercy Park, which for years had been subdivided into poky flats.

Each car owner would be sent ration checks every three months specifying the number of gallons he could buy. The checks could be turned in at banks or other financial institutions in return for coupons that would have to be handed over at gas stations...
...India, once again the world's most populous democracy, but a politically divided and troubled nation with a squabbling, ineffective government; impoverished Bangladesh; unstable Pakistan, where an inept military regime is currently considering the execution of deposed Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the autocratic but brilliant politician who rebuilt his country after its disastrous defeat by India in 1971. To the northeast is Afghanistan, where a pro-Soviet junta that seized power last year is trying to rule over one of the world's most ungovernable tribal societies. In the west is Turkey, torn by religious unrest...
