...Panama Canal Treaty and the arms package for Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Down at the G.O.P.'s Tidewater Conference he seized the moment and focused on SALT as an occasion for a broad re-examination of the "total military and foreign policy relationship between the Soviet Union and the U.S." It was, in Baker's eyes, time to dispel the tattered remnants of Arthur Vandenberg's bipartisan tradition, something that was right a generation ago, just after World War II, but is not fully applicable in today's psychological struggles...

President Lee lacocca, who will become Chrysler chief executive by year's end, made an unprecedented appearance at the United Auto Workers' bargaining table last Friday to ask the union to accept a two-year wage and benefit freeze...
America's oil shale, which is estimated to contain about 75 billion bbl. of recoverable crude, is also concentrated in the region.

Then the couple led off some barefoot dancing, choosing a tango as their starter. There were no signs of discord in the union. Sergei, who has been allowed out of Moscow on an extended visa rarely granted by Soviet authorities, is taking a stronger role in managing one of the capitalist world's largest fleets. And Christina, happy in her marriage, has been devoting some time to visiting gynecologists, apparently because...
