A Return to Reality |
|
| |
The Christmas summit between Egypt and Israel has failed to produce a sudden break-through toward peace in keeping with the dizzying pace of recent events. But the negotiating process remains very much alive, and with it the chance for compromises and achievements.Perhaps it was inevitable that the world's soaring hopes sent aloft in large degree by the participants themselves, would come to earth when the tough issues were confronted. The impact, while jarring, was not a...

Del Mar Sends Out For Cash |
|
| |
Del Mar race track almost got caught short Saturday. An armored truck scheduled to bring $2.4 million to the California thoroughbred track showed up with only $400,000. Sending the truck back to the vault didn't do any good since the vault was locked until 6:30 p.m. long after Del Mar's final race.A quick series of calls to Union Bank in Los Angeles, the San Diego Padres, Sea World and the Big Bear supermarket chain saved the day, however, producing $1.5 million in...

Compromise Bill Would Set 4 Pct. As Jobless Goal |
|
| |
The Carter administration yesterday proposed regulations that officials said would reduce "redlining," the practice of denying housing loans in aging and often predominantly black city neighborhoods.The most important of the regulations, proposed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, which regulates the savings and loan industry, would prohibit lending institutions from denying mortgages simply because of the age of a house or the condition of a neighborhood.At... |

Mexicans' Oil |

Lured by soaring oil prices, prodded by the International Monetary Fund, and threatened by international lenders. Mexico has edged its way into the ranks of the energy exporters and into what President Carter hopes will be a growing robe as a supplier to the United States.Expectations about potential imports from Mexico have risen dramatically since 1974 when the Central Intelligence Agency classified bullish estimates of Mexican oil finds "Top Secret," and...

An ancestral burial plot. A vacant warehouse in Tientsin. Shanghai Yacht Club bonds issued in 1934. The list of claims by American citizens against the Chinese government for $197 million in losses incurred during the Communist takeover in 1949-50 reads like a litany of broken lives.On the other side in the ledger is the $80 million in Chinese claims against dollar accounts in the United States, more commonly referred to as the blocked or frozen Chinese assets. These assets, in the form of...

UNICEF: The U.N.'s Shining Star |
|
| |
This towering rookery of 147 nations, two more to come in shortly, is increasingly the target of indignation and resentment. Worse yet is the indifference with which the role of what was in its inception intended to be the salvation of the world is discounted or ignored. With his peregrinations and preachments, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Andrew Young, has hardly helped to mitigate the trend of public opinion in his country.That trend, sometimes called neo-isolationism, is more and...

Europe Places Economic Self-Interest Over Summit Ideals |
|
| |
National self-interest is becoming the main determinant of economic policy in leading countries, despite the rhetoric of the recent economic summit in London about "interdependence" of the industrial world.One consequence, despite the summit's pledge "to respond collectively" to the world's problems, is that economic recovery in Europe from the worst recession since the great depression of the 1930s is likely to be... |
