...then, Jones' trilogy setting, the mythical West Texas town of Bradleyville (pop. 6,000), has been put on the map all over the regional theater circuit. This spring Trilogy made the big time at the Kennedy Center, where it entranced Washington audiences for 16 weeks. Indeed, this Southern export traveled so well that Producer Robert Whitehead this week is bringing Trilogy to that island where regional theater always goes when it succeeds: Manhattan...
...none of this compares in sheer impact and shock power with the South's mass export of human beings. Beginning earlier and accelerating during World War II, for more than two decades they moved north and west by the millions, black and white. The blacks constituted the vast majority, the greatest ethnic migration in American history. And they were Southern, too, perhaps the most quintessentially Southern of all. The North was confronted by a Southern invasion vaster by far than any General Lee ever mounted...
...economy is the most outstanding feature of West Germany today. Resilient, disciplined, and resourceful, the German economy weathered the international economic recession on a far more even keel than its European neighbors.

Nevertheless, while an 8.5 per cent rate of inflation and a 6.5 per cent rate of unemployment earned Schmidt sharp criticism from the right and the left, these figures were downright enviable compared to the double-digit inflation and widespread unemployment...
Should the U.S. freely sell peaceful nuclear technology abroad? The question is so important that it is being more and more debated at the highest levels of the Federal Government. On the one hand, the nation's overseas sales of atomic power plants, equipment and services swell U.S. export earnings by a cool $1.5 billion a year. On the other, the proliferation of nuclear reactors can also lead to the spread of nuclear weapons-meaning atom bombs...
Last week the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission opened the debate to the public for the first time. Its concern was anything but academic, since it has to decide whether to approve a license to export 12,261 kg. of Government-owned enriched uranium to fuel a reactor in India. In 1974 Indian scientists used fissionable materials, taken from a Canadian reactor, to build what they called a "peaceful nuclear device." After the bomb was exploded, Canada shut off nuclear aid to India. To keep the U.S. from following suit, the Indian government pledged to use American materials exclusively...
