According to Mondale, today's protectionism will guarantee tomorrow's free trade. Excluding cheap imports, he claims, will allow us to develop "fully competitive auto and steel industries in the 1990s" and prevent unemployment in the interim. Once American auto and steel industries become competitive with those of other countries, the need for projectionist trade barriers will simply fade away. Until then, though, moderate protectionism is the only way to prevent "irresistible demands for harsh and damaging legislation." In addition, by waving the club of American trade barriers over the heads of our allies, Mondale believes we will intimidate them...
Even some of the nation's deeply depressed basic industries were showing signs of life, although very faint ones since their problems stem as much from foreign competition as from lack of demand. U.S. Steel has rehired 2% of its labor force, but that still leaves only 42% of its workers on the job. "There have been a couple of blips, but we don't see signs as yet that this is a basic recovery," says Spokesman Andy Stursky. In Detroit, auto executives predict that 1983 sales will be 10% higher than those of 1982, which...
...siege and the slaughter remain unmended. In the final stages of the massacre, Phalangist militiamen ran bulldozers into homes with the dual aim of destroying shelters and burying victims in the rubble. On the main street running through Shatila, a demolished house is a tangle of rusting steel supports. Remnants of clothing are caught in the twisted red bars, so that the rubble looks like a nightmarish clothes closet. The second story of another house is exposed where a wall was ripped away. On the upper floor a drinking glass still sits on a ledge above a washbasin, exactly where...
...sacred duty. The former reporter, who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for journalism in 1961, is now noted for the objectivity of his portraits of the youthful Winston in Churchill: Young Man in a Hurry and of the aged Willie in Maugham. But they are edged with steel. Morgan, 50, feels that either love or hate is a dangerous conceit. Says he: "You have to be clinical, like a coroner dissecting a corpse." His scalpel reveals a Churchill swollen with hubris and a stingy Maugham pathologically concealing his homosexuality from the public. Morgan, like his colleagues, perceives his subjects...
...back to when the pole was a pretty stable instrument," he explains. Warmerdam's first bolt of bamboo carried him over high hedges and cringing livestock all across his father's spinach farm in California's San Joaquin Valley. His records were built of bamboo; steel and aluminum poles came along in the '50s, fiberglass in the '60s. Since then, the record has been improved by leaps and sproings. But the 19-ft. ¾in. outdoor mark of that aptly named Russian Vladimir Polyakov has been posted over a year and a half...
