...friendly and understanding to the Japanese. He had visited Japan both as Vice President and as a private businessman. As President in 1970, he pleased Tokyo immensely with his pronouncement that, under the Nixon Doctrine, continued U.S.-Japanese cooperation would be "the linchpin for peace in the Pacific." No wonder that Nixon's decision in July to visit Peking, followed by his drastic economic measures two weeks ago-which affect Japan more than any other nation (see BUSINESS)-seemed to the Japanese less like linchpin diplomacy than a thoughtlessly thrown shaft. Both moves hit vital Japanese interests, and both...
...teen-age fumbler who takes his first job as an attendant at a public bath and swimming pool located in the far reaches of some bleak London suburb. He is engulfed by sexual fantasies but terrified when any of his female customers attempt to initiate him. Little wonder. Women for him are a mystery and a threat. They either overwhelm him with bloated lust (like one patron who smothers him in a bone-crushing embrace while passionately discussing football) or exploit him, like Susan (Jane Asher), another attendant at the baths, whose simultaneous taunting and flirting Mike finds irresistible...
Since their inception in 1951, the quadrennial Pan-American Games have served as a kind of Olympic warmup session for strong U.S. teams.

With such goings on, it was small wonder that the demonstrators who poured into Beirut's streets to applaud General Jaafar Numeiry's return to power in the Sudan were so befuddled that they chanted slogans condemning a bizarre assortment of bedfellows: Israel, Jordan's Hussein, the U.S. and the Communists. "In the face of Israel we are all Arabs," Sadat told a meeting of Egypt's Arab Socialist Union last week, but he added: "Unfortunately, disunity still prevails amongst...
...Died. Pedro Rodriguez, 31, onetime "boy wonder" of international auto racing; of injuries sustained when his Ferrari crashed during a European Inter-series race; in Nuremberg, West Germany. The sons of a Mexico City millionaire, Pedro and his brother Ricardo were regulars on the international racing circuit while still teenagers. Ricardo was killed while practicing for the Mexican Grand Prix in 1962, but Pedro went on to win at Le Mans in 1968 and capture first place at Daytona Beach, Fla. for the past two years...
