Though higher interest rates are bound to crimp housing, pinch installment loans, and put a drag on sales of big-ticket items like cars, which are normally bought on credit and not with cash, most economists continue to agree that the economy is not about to drop into a free-fall plunge as it did after the oil-price shocks of 1973 and 1974. For the most part, the members of TIME'S Board of Economists predict a moderately deeper recession than envisioned in their earlier forecasts of September; but they foresee no economic tailspin, in part because the strength...
...blame for his own plots on others and magically convincing those around him to do what he asks. By the age of 24, Sobhraj is a man disowned by both father and nation, befriended only by a lone Frenchman named Felix, who annoyingly returns to save the prison-bound Charles time and time again. This is not a nice young man. "You should have let him stay in prison," Charles' father warns the young Frenchman. "He begged you and you believed him and took pity on him. And now the result of your mercy will be the blood...
WHEN FIDEL CASTRO spoke last week before the United Nations General Assembly, his condemnation of Israel rolled out easily.

This may be relieved by occasional spasms of presidential self-will, but such erratic outbursts are bound to prove temporary since his refusal to accept the agreed recommendation leaves him with no operational alternative...
...spectacular peintre maudit of the late 19th century: a doomed dog of modernism, fit for Hollywood. No reputation can quite survive a movie like Moulin Rouge, and ever since its release in 1953 the popular image of Toulouse-Lautrec has been shaped by the sight of Jose Ferrer, legs bound, peering with lugubriously feigned interest up at the boiler-plated buttocks of Zsa Zsa Gabor. Thus Toulouse-Lautrec became one of the few artists most everyone has heard of, a guarantee perhaps that the retrospective of 109 of his paintings, along with a group of his drawings and prints, which...
