...China's biggest oil refinery at Taching was partly destroyed by sabotage and is still operating well below capacity-and below China's needs. Shortage of oil cut power to three hours a day in Canton in January, left Peking without heat for much of the winter. Steel and textile production are also down, and only the best weather in a decade last year prevented a fall-off in grain production that would have meant famine in many places...
Burning Cars. That served only to rally broad support for the troublemakers. Massing by the thousands along the Boulevard St, Germain and cross streets, students ripped up paving stones and steel posts, bombarded steel-helmeted police from behind barricades of overturned and burning cars. The police fought back with nightsticks and tear-gas grenades in a battle lasting some seven hours...

Between those extremes, chronic trade-balance weakness is suffered by at least 122 manufacturing industries. Among them: steel, paper, food-and-drink, glass, textiles, apparel, lumber, leather, shipbuilding, autos, watches and sporting goods. In 1-966, those 122 provided 35% of the nation's industrial jobs, but they ran up a hefty $7.5 billion trade deficit. Says Finance Chairman Robert C. Tyson of U.S. Steel Corp.: "America generally...
