At the United Nations, Ambassador Arthur Goldberg was trying to line up support for a new bid to the Security Council to undertake a settlement...

These include ending state subsidies on such staples as bread and butter, longtime features of New Zealand's elaborate welfare system. Taxes on gasoline, tobacco and liquor have gone up. The nation's imports and bank loans have been curtailed, and down payments for installment buying increased...
