...monuments in the Communist world: a huge equestrian statue of Alexander II, Czar of All the Russias from 1855 to 1881. While Moscow abounds with likenesses of Lenin and Peking with those of Mao, Sofia has chosen to preserve an image of the Emperor who helped liberate Bulgaria from Turkish rule in 1878. The Bulgarians still feel that they owe a historic debt of gratitude to Russia's rulers...
...violence of an 007 film's sound track. Ludwig's Gig is a lush snippet from Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony; Superjoy, an electronically extravagant "lift" of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring; Wild Turkey, a toe-tapping treatment of Mozart's Turkish Rondo, and so on.

Construction of an auto plant owned jointly by France's Renault and OYAK was well behind schedule, and it seemed that Fiat cars would gain a long sales lead-until the fund swung into action. After arranging the specifications so that other...
...stamp tax charged for business transactions, and the payments to and from its members are untouched by income or inheritance taxes. For all that, Lieut. General Fikret Elbizim, fund chairman, solemnly asserts: "We are not after any privileges. We merely want to coexist with the private and state sectors." Turkish businessmen can only imagine what they would have to contend with if the armed forces wanted more than coexistence...
