...Wednesday evening Reagan called the leaders of France, West Germany, Japan, Canada, Britain and Italy to assure them he looks forward to working with them. To West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt he extended a formal invitation for an April visit, which was promptly accepted. Schmidt, who has not got along well with Carter, said this week that Reagan has "a very clear view of global American strategy." Reagan is expected to go to Canada soon to visit Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. He has already scheduled meetings in the near future with Spanish King Juan Carlos, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher...

In Worces ter, Mass., a soon-to-open shopping center dental office will provide parents with beepers so that they can browse and buy until they are signaled back to the office when junior is ready...
When it comes to bizarre ways of coming to grips with a shortage of profitably infected molars, nothing can top California. In addition to Dr. Schmidt, there is Dr. Terry Pratt of Alameda, who has taken an old bungalow and created a homey office complete with stained glass, eucalyptus-wood paneling, brass fixtures and white lace window curtains. Dr. Ronald Konopaski of San Francisco says that he has "tried to create an image similar to a beauty salon." The doctor's dental salon offers clients a rainbow-colored printed menu of services with fees. They...
