...generally centrist recommendations, which by no reasonable standard could be described as weak. Despite recent, markedly pacific gestures from the Administration, it remains to be seen whether, in the second term, such centrist policies will prevail or whether the right-wing "true believers" will succeed in reasserting the ideological superhard line.

Even Emanuel Ungaro, famed for his superhard edges, turned his virtuoso hand to fluid fabrics, softly sashed dresses and loosely pleated skirts. His best look: a long dress in a pinwheel print, belted, bloused and all at once both elegant and sensuous. Dior's Marc Bohan is every bit as enraptured with the languorous look.

This is small change compared to the 65,000,000 tons produced last year by Minnesota's famed Mesabi range, but the comparison does not show the real importance of Steep Rock to the Canadian and U.S. steel industries...

...even if it meant sacrificing planes. Of airplanes, Russia needs heavy bombers most. Machine tools, unfortunately the rarest and most complicated gadgets, are badly needed. Russia asked the U.S. for more than 30,000 tons of steel a month, especially for 5,000 tons a month of rare superhard tool steel;* for between 5,000 and 10,000 tons a month of aluminum; considerable quantities of nickel.
