...slapstick combination of The Innocents Abroad and Sylvester the cat stalking an unsuspecting Tweety. The six-member congressional group had set out on July 22 on a self-assigned ten-day fact-finding tour of the Middle East, hoping somehow to contribute to a peaceful solution of the bloody Lebanese standoff. That they did not do. As the contingent prepared to head back to Washington last week, having visited five countries and attracted a great deal of unwarranted attention, the five Democrats and one Republican no longer appeared to be a shrewd bunch of legislators honing their perceptions...
Even so, Haig continued to win on most of the substantive issues. As late as a month ago, at the Versailles summit conference of the non-Communist world's seven strongest industrial powers that opened Reagan's ten-day trip through Europe, Haig appeared to be in complete control of U.S. foreign policy.

Overall sales slumped to an estimated 182,539 units, vs. 323,353 for the same period last year. That put the industry's annual sales pace for 1982 so far at 5.9 million units, 3½ million fewer than four years ago. Not since 1961 had business been...
