...game is not so much to lay out actual fiscal allocations as to demonstrate to outsiders the latest Kremlin international posture. Last week 1,500 delegates to the Supreme Soviet, Russia's rubber-stamp Parliament, met in the Great Kremlin Palace to approve the 1970 budget, and as usual, defense spending attracted the most attention. According to the official figures, the Soviet arms budget will rise only 1% to 17.8 billion rubles ($19.6 billion).

Rome?which may remember that both Luther and Erasmus were Augustinians?has threatened to disband the Dutch province if it goes ahead with the project...

Last week the Federal Reserve issued some statistics that led even a few experts to conclude prematurely that it had begun to ease its tight-money policy.
