French exports, few of which go to the blockaded U.S. market, jumped to $2 billion in October, an alltime monthly record. Economic growth is expected by the government to total 5.6% this year and about the same in 1972. With the help of profitable long-term deals like the ten-year trade agreement recently signed with the Soviet Union, which included a $500 million contract for the construction of a Renault truck factory 500 miles southeast of Moscow, French economists expect the nation to increase exports from 14% of production now to 19% by 1980. Per capita gross national product...
...doesn't exist, he may have to be invented-in a hurry. On Dec. 31, Secretary-General U Thant, 62, suffering from a bleeding ulcer and general exhaustion, will end his two-term, ten-year stewardship. That leaves the 130 delegations little more than a month to find someone acceptable to all of the contentious Big Five and also to a majority of the Third World.

Relying on his traditionally heavy support from the off-campus community, Thomas, 56, counted on two or three active volunteers to run his campaign and never appealed to the student vote. Still, the consensus of local political sages was that his election was a sure thing...
...Parolees are almost as bereft of rights as prisoners. So lower federal courts declined to intervene when Raymond Arciniega's parole was revoked. After serving nearly eight years of his ten-year sentence for selling heroin, Arciniega went to work booking acts into a Torrance, Calif., nightspot. Unfortunately for him, two other ex-convicts also worked there, and his parole board decided that he was violating the rule against associating with former prisoners. The Supreme Court unanimously found that conclusion unacceptable. Occupational association is not enough to send a man back to prison, said the court. "To so assume...
