...major military powers. To equip his 160,000-man army, 40,000-man air force and 11,500-man navy, the Shah recently contracted for such imposingly modern weapons as 70 U.S. F-4 Phantom jets, 800 British Chieftain tanks and an assortment of destroyers, Hovercraft and troop-transport planes. In a deal that probably saved Long Island's Grumman Aircraft Corp. from bankruptcy, the Shah earlier this year ordered 80 F-14s at a cost of nearly $1.5 billion. By 1980 Iran will have more fighter-bombers (839) than any NATO nation except the U.S. The Shah...
Meanwhile, The Devil played in Memphis, where Assistant U.S. Attorney Larry Parrish moved to indict everyone he could who was connected with the film.

His high-handed habit of commandeering planes at a whim has made Air Zaire's timetables something of a joke. When Mobutu visited West Germany last spring, he took the line's 747 for himself and a DC-10 for his wife, leaving Air Zaire suddenly without...
...will exacerbate the situation the way they did during the coal strike last winter. Wilson's power over the unions, however, has largely disappeared. Not only have the big unionists--like Len Murray, secretary-general of the TUC, Hugh Scanlon of the engineers union and Jack Jones of the Transport Workers--proved that they are the most powerful men in Britain, but most of Wilson's own party is now solidly behind them...
