Most experts agree that the current national flurry of general education reforms marks a swing of the pendulum back to the way curricula were before '60's campus activists forced many university administrations to abolish or loosen course requirements. Now that campuses are quiet again, faculties are starting to regret their loss of control over students' educations.

The U.S. State Department called the raids "among the heaviest and most destructive of the war, particularly in terms of loss of life."

Many speakers thought some of the tension in international trade might fade in the future as the widely varying growth rates among the major countries begin to converge. There was not even much regret that the general direction of the convergence will probably be down, as U.S. growth slips, rather than up, as was once expected. The new managing director of the IMF, former French Treasury Chief Jacques de Larosiere, proclaimed that the world's major international economic ailments "are on the way to being cured." U.S. Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal was nearly as cheery. Despite a lingering public...
