Among business decision makers, optimism about the future of the economy is at its lowest level in years. That gloomy statistic comes from a survey of "executive confidence" by the marketing firm of Sindlinger & Co.

The Soviet sales luncheon has become increasingly familiar in Southeast Asia, where the Russians are pressing an economic offensive. This week they will wind up their most ambitious effort, a three-week trade fair in Kuala Lumpur. Elsewhere, the Russians have recently formed a joint shipping company with businessmen in Singapore, made trade overtures to the Philippines, welcomed a Thai trade delegation in Moscow and expanded Aeroflot plane service in many parts of Asia...
