...philosophical beliefs of Hume represent the age he lived in?" The equivocator would answer it this way: "Some people believe that David Hume was not necessarily a great philosopher, because his thoughts was merely a reflection of conditions around him colored by his own personality. Others, however, strongly support Hume's greatness on the grounds that his personality definitely affected the age in which he lived. It is not a question of the cart before the horse in either case, merely the old problem of which came first, the chicken or the egg. In any case, there is much...
...Before, the league was equally balanced between radical and conservative states-or, as the leftists put it, between the "free Arabs" and the "kept Arabs." Now there are eight left-leaning states (Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Algeria, Sudan, the two Yemens and Libya), and six conservative governments that accept Western support and admit Western influence (the three kingdoms, plus Lebanon, Kuwait and Tunisia...

In appealing for na tional support to "win the battle of the franc," Giscard cautiously sought to avoid stirring anew the industrial strife that upset the government's economic plans during the student riots of 1968. In fact, the burden assigned to ordinary Frenchmen was relatively light and aimed primarily at restricting credit. Car buyers will have to put down 50% of the purchase price instead of the present 30% and pay off the remainder in 18 months instead of 21. For house hold appliances and furniture, the down payment will be 40%-up from...
