Foreign governments resent this artificial advantage-and none more bitterly than the U.S. Government, since the country has run a deficit of more than $1 billion in each of the past two years in trade with Japan. That irritation is fanned by the thought that Japan is largely insulated from the natural financial pressures that have forced increases in other undervalued currencies. Treasurers of international corporations and money speculators cannot pour funds into Japan-as they did into Germany last month when they correctly expected the mark to rise-because the Japanese government tightly controls the exchange...
Should Lockheed get special treatment? Surprisingly, there is little support in the aerospace industry, except from Lockheed itself, for the loan guarantee. Lockheed's rivals resent the Government's supporting a company that they believe has been grossly mismanaged-a high-cost, undercapitalized producer. Aerojet-General President Jack H. Vollbrecht contends that help for Lockheed would mean that "if you fail big enough, you don't fail...
Minute-by-Minute. Michener's book, at one level, is a plea for concessions between generations.

Public-opinion samplings indicate that 66% of those questioned oppose British entry, and 82% believe that the issue should be submitted to the voters as a referendum...
Aesthetics or Polemics? At this point a split became apparent among the black artists themselves. While the B.E.C.C. was protesting that the organization of the show was not black enough, some of the best-known black artists in the U.S. began to resent the prospect of being shut in a purely black context, as if they were anthropological specimens. They pulled out. Among them were Richard Hunt, Mel Edwards, Daniel Johnson, William Williams, Joe Overstreet and Sam Gilliam. Says Johnson, who happens to be an abstractionist: "From the outset of the show, we felt it was going to be disastrous...
