...foreign debt. The government froze payments on the debt seven weeks ago after many banks, fearful that racial violence would destroy the economy, cut off credit. Sources close to the meetings said their object was to find a way to restore South Africa's credit lines so it can renew normal international commerce and begin debt repayment. South African officials, the sources said, are well aware that the debt problem cannot be resolved without movement toward political reform...
Although it has one-third more manpower than NATO, and twice as much armor and artillery, the pact is evidently under considerable strain. When the signatory nations met last April in Warsaw to formally renew the alliance for 20 more years, Nicolae Ceausescu of Rumania let it be known that he favored an extension of only five years.

That impression is reinforced by the ultimate control exercised by Soviet officers during military maneuvers, which are conducted four times a year...
Morale suffered its greatest blow last month when 125 news positions were eliminated and 74 employees were dismissed. The cutbacks followed CBS's decision in August not to renew the contract of Supreme Court Correspondent Fred Graham, who reportedly earned $250,000 a year.

The structure and content of the Act itself, however, are enough to make the correct course clear. At a time when the United States is trying to posture as the palladium of freedom and limited government around the world, it makes little sense to renew a law that undermines those principles in our own country—the very principles that...
