Last week, in an effort to settle the whole scrap, the Metro Commission voted to pay Phillips the $975 set by Judge Eaton and accept the injunction that ordered him to remove the caboose. Phillips reluctantly agreed to go along. Looking back on the long fight, he says he would have preferred to be prosecuted in criminal court as a zoning law violator. He feels that then he might have pleaded his case before a jury that would have been more sympathetic than his neighbors...
...appearance of a tough young breed of entrepreneurs. Best-known among them is Eduardo Barreiros, 44, a onetime mechanic who built the nation's biggest automotive company, recently sold 45% of it to Chrysler for $19 million. Onetime Bank Clerk Jose Maria Aristrain, 48, started a scrap-iron business as a sideline, was so successful that he opened foundries, now operates plants that turn out 60,000 tons of steel a year. At 43, Engineer Pedro Duran is the aggressive president of the country's principal ship and locomotive building firm...

For the rest, he remained in the background: what he contributed to the fabric of Kennedy statements...
...Nikita laughed too soon. Yields in Kazakhstan slumped from an initial 16 bu. per acre to 5 bu. per acre last year, and Moscow was forced to buy more than 11 million tons of grain abroad. Inevitably, rumors spread that the Kremlin would scrap the Virgin Lands experiment. Sure enough, an official declaration last week implied just that. After spending $7.4 billion and drafting 350,000 fulltime farmers to work on the dubious project, the regime seemed to feel it was time to stop cultivating additional acreage in the far-off Virgin Lands, concentrate instead on raising output...
