Brelis, on a two-week assignment in Saudi Arabia, left after five days to return to Egypt. Jerusalem Bureau Chief Dean Fischer, who only a week earlier had flown from Israel to Washington with Premier Begin on his sudden trip, quickly hopped a plane back to Jerusalem in order to cover Begin's return. Fischer thus lost a traveling companion, Photographer David Rubinger. Besides shooting the trip for TIME, Rubinger, an Israeli citizen, had been chosen by Begin to be his official photographer during the U.S. visit, so it behooved him to remain with the Premier...
...program, now in its last year, to determine whether or not winter navigation is practical. The folks in the steel industry, led by U.S. Steel, believe it is. Giant ore boats now cost $50 million to build, and the industry wants to use them all year for a better return on its money. Year-round navigation also provides a steadier flow of taconite to steel furnaces, eliminating the need for the old, pre-winter stockpiling of ore in Gary and other mill towns. An established, year-round flow would mean that U.S. Steel could permanently cut back on the size...

The carefully chosen words were more optimistic, however, than the actual situation. Carter let it be known that he was willing to delay his return home for a day or two, and that Secretary of State Cyrus Vance planned to remain in the Middle East still longer...
...ACSR also concluded that Harvard's portfolio management practices result in a return that is 2 per cent higher than the average return on common stocks. Because 46 per cent of Harvard's stocks are in MOSA companies, exclusion of those corporations as possible investments would lead to an annual 46-per-cent reduction in the increased dividends, the committee stated. That, in addition to an expected drop in donations of securities, would result in estimated losses of $4.8 to 9.8 million annually...
