...Gerald Ford in a Sept. 23 speech to the ninth annual World Energy Conference in Detroit. Amplifying his "straight talk" to the U.N. General Assembly the previous week (TIME, Sept. 30), Ford deplored "the pulverizing impact of energy price increases on every aspect of the world economy." He warned: "Sovereign nations cannot allow their policies to be dictated or their fate decided by artificial rigging and distortion of world commodity markets ... Exorbitant prices can only distort the world economy, run the risk of worldwide depression, and threaten the breakdown of world order and safety...

His right to stay above and beyond the masses...
...stiff diplomatic note to Peking, the Russians said that they were "ready as before" to allow Chinese ships to bypass the Kazakevicheva Channel during the summer months, when it becomes too shallow for navigation. But, they added, the Chinese must first recognize "the Soviet Union's sovereign rights and territorial integrity"-that is, agree that the actual border is determined by the Kazakevicheva Channel and not by the two rivers...
