Hazarding Revenge. The regime's riposte was quick. Snapped a party zealot: "What the party needs is unity and not intellectuals who produce neither bread nor steel but only chitchat." Six of the more outspoken students were suspended from the university, and Kolakowski was expelled from the party and accused of a long list of "crimes" including having "sat down to tea with Cardinal Wyszynski," the Polish primate, and having had a prolonged meeting with American Professor Zbigniew Brzezinski of Columbia University. When a group of Poland's leading artists and writers wrote letters to the Politburo demanding...

One weapon is a social-reform program that aims to undercut the Huks by building schools and hospitals, repairing wells and roads, and providing land-improvement loans to farmers. The other is the cold steel and hot bullets of a 3,800-man military force under Colonel Rafael Ileto, 46, who was named last winter to hunt down the hard-core Huk leaders...

U.S. Steel will pay $20 million for its souped up version, which will comprise 221 pieces of electronic brainery. The University of Wisconsin has also ordered a B 8500 for $15 million...
...Three major steel companies-Dorman Long, South Durham Steel and Iron, and Stewarts and Lloyds-agreed to fuse into a group that will rival the new steel titans on the Continent, be capable of producing a quarter of Britain's steel needs. The merger was prompted by the demand for pipe created by newly found North Sea gas. Short of pipe capacity, Stewarts and Lloyds and South Durham plan to use Dorman Long's new plate plant at Lackenby as a source of supply. Since that is just the kind of resource pooling that the nationalization-bent government...
