Four hundred American technicians are helping Boumedienne develop the immense oil and natural-gas resources in the Sahara, and even U.S. management firms have been retained to smooth administrative problems. The biggest deal made so far by Sonatrach, the government-owned monopoly, is a $5 billion contract to provide natural gas for the U.S. East Coast. "There is no contradiction in our policy," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammed ben Mehal blandly explained to TIME Correspondent Gavin Scott last week...

...with young campaign workers and gave rousing talks to win over party stalwarts. The towns rolled by-Ashtabula, Painesville, Warren-and at each stop she made short, cogent speeches of her own devising and in her thoroughly professional style. She stands cool and poised before crowds and speaks in smooth sentences, with none of the fumbling "and-uhs" of an amateur. She looks her audiences squarely in the eye and, without script or notes, convincingly makes her case for George McGovern. Invariably, she exits to applause...
