...Wednesday, after his brief stopoff in Egypt, Carter is booked to fly to Paris for a wreath-laying at l'Arc de Triomphe, a walk along Normandy's Omaha Beach, one of the first to be stormed by Allied liberators in 1944, and dinner with President Valery Giscard d'Estaing at Versailles. Carter is expected to brief Giscard on the U.S.-Soviet strategic arms talks and will also discuss U.S. concern over the booming international arms business and the spread of atomic weapons. As a favor to Giscard, who leads a center-right political coalition that faces...

Under the new contract, the employees will receive 10 to 30 cents more an hour, depending on seniority. But while union officials had sought a one-year contract, the University succeeded in getting the three-year agreement it hoped...
This big shady tree was made by God; He decreed it: it came into being. These fresh green plants whose seeds we had ourselves sown could never have been there if God had not decreed it. This land on which I walk; the running water in the canal; indeed, everything around me was made by an overseeing God?a vast, mighty Being that watches and takes care of all, including me. Trees, seeds and fruits are all, therefore, my fellows in existence; we all came out of the land and could never exist without it. And the land is firm...
