...hard at the Continent's power systems. With many rivers flowing at only a third of their normal volume and hydroelectric output cut, French utilities have had to burn some 2 million extra tons of oil to meet customer demands for power. As the drought continued in Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, rains began to fall in Western Europe-too little and too late to be of much help...
...middle-distance man, "it will take a world record to win." The heats will be hot, but Wohlhuter may still be right, because this race has one of the strongest fields in the Olympics. Leading it are Mike Boit, winner of 15 out of 17 major races last year; Yugoslavia's Luciano Susanj, who beat Wohlhuter four times in '75 and John Walker, who is convinced his chances for two golds are good. Another entry was, alas, Filbert Bayi. And not last in the group, or least, but maybe first -Wohlhuter...
...eloquent espousals of "Eurocommunism," the star and clear winner at the Berlin summit was the wily Tito.

"None of the models existing in the world today apply to us," says José Maria González, economic spokesman of the exiled Spanish Communist Party...
...swap will provide few surprises for the Iranians. They have been bartering raw materials for industrial products ever since the 1930s. But it would be a whole new way of doing business for the defense contractors. Only McDonnell Douglas has had a similar experience. In 1969 Yugoslavia wanted to buy DC-9s, but did not have enough dollars. So McDonnell Douglas agreed to help by marketing Yugoslavian goods, including hams, in the U.S. For years thereafter, the standing joke in the company's executive dining room was: "Here come the rest of those Yugoslavian hams." Oil, presumably, would...
