Notable Laggards. Most experts still do not foresee a repetition of the commodity price explosion of 1973-74. Then, the economies of major industrial states were all booming at the same time. Today the recovery is sufficiently uneven-Britain and Italy are notable laggards-to prevent the kind of frantic scramble for raw materials that went on three years ago. In addition, many commodity producers are still operating well below capacity and have room to expand output to fill demand. For example, production in copper-mining countries has been running about 15% below normal levels for more than a year...
...coaches because she was "alive," has advanced the sport of gymnastics as much as Olga popularized it. Frighteningly daring, she has developed a series of ultra-acrobatic moves that leave crowds gasping. The Salto Comaneci, to cite one, is a twisting, back-somersaulting dismount from the uneven parallel bars that one U.S. gymnast has a forthright word for: "Madness."

(Korbut did not compete; Turishcheva was injured.) Comaneci has been...
...limit, the subject of such an exhibit might be nothing less than the whole of aristocratic and high bourgeois culture in Georgian England, America and France.

No other region of the world produces such a concoction of Kung Fu, scifi, porn, soapers, chasers and period pieces with such uneven degrees of tackiness and brilliance. From India to Japan, the film studios of Asia churn out more than 1,200 pictures a year, the work of moguls like Hong Kong's Run Run Shaw (see box) and one-shot entrepreneurs and ephemeral actors. A survey of the state...
...Associate Justice Harry Blackmun. Burger's numerous off-court activities have cut sharply into his time for court work. Justice Marshall has been frequently ill this term, and the work of his law clerks on whom he has relied in the past for excellent writing has been uneven...
