...Jaruzelski last week took his case directly to the world press. The government invited 122 editors, columnists and reporters from 26 nations who were in Warsaw attending an international conference of East bloc and Western journalists for an unusual evening question-and-answer session. Among the participants at the three-day meeting was TIME Associate Editor John Kohan, who filed this report...
...Arab Emirates-have been concerned about the potential threat the war poses to their oil interests. The heads of those nations, which formed the Gulf Cooperation Council in 1981, met last week to take out a sort of insurance policy against any damaging spillover from the war. After a three-day meeting in Kuwait's palatial conference hall, built especially for this summit, the leaders announced plans for the creation of an estimated 2,000-to 3,000-man rapid deployment force, which could operate under a unified command based in Saudi Arabia...
Fourteen years ago, Easton put on its first annual waterfowl festival. Today the town of 8,000 or so entertains roughly 35,000 celebrators during the three-day event.

...three-day visit to Poland by West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher was to be the first by a high-level West German diplomat since martial law was declared in December 1981. But only hours before takeoff last week, a testy Genscher canceled his visit. One major reason: a Polish government suggestion that it would be inappropriate for Genscher to visit the grave of Father Jerzy Popieluszko, the Solidarity supporter who was murdered last month. In addition, the Warsaw regime vetoed Genscher's request to lay a wreath at the grave of a German soldier killed in World...
...their views of the union, they all want a settlement. But Yale's repeated rebuffs of the academic comnmunity's pleas for compromise have alienated even staunch conservatives. The school's callous attitude during this last round of negotiations has squelched the hopes of the students who led the three-day boycott of classes to pressure the university back to the table. In those talks, the union demand dropped from a $40 million cumulative raise over the next three years to $30 million, according to university estimates: Yale's counteroffer leapt from $18 million right up to $18 million...
