...resurgence. More than $1 billion a year, perhaps the biggest cultural subsidy in the world, is spent by state and federal authorities to finance an aesthetic amalgam of 800 museums, 1,600 art galleries, 60 opera houses, 96 orchestras and 200 legitimate theaters. West Germany has its own new wave of film makers?Rainer Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders?whose reputations as cinematographic cult figures rival those of the Truffauts and Godards who starred in France's Nouvelle Vague of the '60s. Director Volker Schlondorff won top honors at the Cannes Film Festival last month for his film version...
...bent himself up, trying to get out of the undertow, but the blood from his arms and legs was huddled in refugee camps far from home. He couldn't get a purchase on the sleek tub edges, and he only slid further down. The tide came in--the wave he'd set in motion sloshed up around his ears and into his nostrils, and he started choking for breath.

Swept to power on a wave of "Trudeaumania," he had once seemed the very model of a philosopher-statesman, blessed with an impressive intellect and an acerbic wit-not to mention a sensuous young wife. But last week Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 59, who had served three times as Canada's chief executive, was narrowly defeated...
More than anywhere else, the ripples have grown into a wave of protest in Switzerland. Last week, in a national referendum, 70% of the voters favored much tighter controls on nuclear construction. No new plant can be built until planners submit proof that 1) it is definitely needed, and 2) the waste-disposal problem is solved. The measure also shifts nuclear regulatory authority from the energy ministry to the Swiss parliament, where interminable delays are expected...
