...Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay," "Tell Laura I Love Her" -- and they all came off with a slick dexterity. But none of the songs made you really want to throw Mary Lou over your shoulder in mid-jitterbug or snuggle up in an end-of-the-dance waltz. The old magic just wasn't there...
Many of the executives felt that free trade is still in danger, though the Europeans were less apprehensive than when they met in Washington in 1971. Some suggested that the world was moving toward a different definition of free trade.

...unlikely that anybody in Washington would make either faux pas these days, for Gough (rhymes with cough) Whitlam is stirring things up more than any Australian leader in years. Until recently, Australia resembled a sort of waltzing Matilda, content to glide through life on the strong arm of a big, steady date. To her escort-first Britain, then the U.S.-she was complaisant, undemanding and faithful. In short, Australia could be taken for granted, and often was. No more. The waltz is ended. Australia has started to rock, and to a beat that is her own. To the dismay...
