...rates of inflation. Switzerland has shipped home 100,000 foreign workers to stave off unemployment among citizens, but its recovery is dependent on the renewed health of its big trading partners. Sweden, which long seemed immune to recession, has started on a slide that is expected to result in zero growth this year. By contrast, Denmark achieved modest expansion during 1975, and Norway is being buoyed by prospects of soon becoming a sizable oil producer.

For Mostel it's all bitter experience, for he was interrogated by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1955 and scorned by movie producers for a decade. For Allen, playing a bookie who lets a blacklisted writer use his name, drama is all new, and he claims to be, as usual, nervous. "I can't guarantee the outcome," he says...
