...Lebanon's warring factions. President Reagan, in prime oratorical form, unveiled his new arms control initiatives in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly. The performance earned praise from U.S. allies in Western Europe and put pressure on the Soviet Union to show similar flexibility. On a five-day visit to China, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger revealed that relations between Washington and Peking had unexpectedly improved to the point where summit meetings between Reagan and Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang will be exchanged next year. To top everything off, Reagan persuaded Congress to pass a war-powers resolution ratifying...
...after Canada and Japan. These days the U.S.-Mexico relationship has acquired considerable drama as the U.S.'s big Latin neighbor confronts its worst economic crisis in 40 years. Against this background, 35 U.S. corporate, philanthropic and university leaders joined 15 TIME editors and company officers on a five-day Newstour of Mexico and Panama. Like the seven other such trips sponsored by TIME in the past 20 years, the tour was designed to provide our Newstour guest journalists with a reportorial view of the events and issues confronting the top officials in the countries on the itinerary...
Merrill Lynch, which has more IRA and similar Keogh accounts than any other firm (700,000), found the rush breathtaking. A fortnight ago the broker signed up 39,000 customers in a single five-day period. Then last week it nearly tripled that by entering 100,000 accounts.

Mutton brokerage firm last week, $20 million per day went into new accounts. Said Gary Strum, head of pension services...
...trim, perfect vessel, 412 ft. long, glided into overcast San Diego Bay a bit ahead of schedule after a five-day sail up from Mexico, and the regiment of photographers onshore nudged into position. Cannons roared from the escort frigate Diomede, and a U.S. battery returned the 21-gun salute. After Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia steered toward the freshly painted yellow moorings of the Broadway Pier, her Royal Marine band played, then a U.S. Navy band. Suddenly the craning crowd of 6,000 broke into unbuttoned cheers, while several hundred reporters looked on. There were even scattered choruses...
...sober man, precise, who shows no emotion, who sticks to the facts and to a mathematical reasoning." Such was the impression of Soviet Leader Yuri Andropov that French Foreign Minister Claude Cheysson took back to Paris last week after a five-day visit to the Soviet Union. Cheysson, who has never been known to hide behind diplomatic euphemisms, is one of the first Western government ministers to have conferred at length with Andropov since the Communist chief replaced the late Leonid Brezhnev last November...
