...this week's Paris conference will convince most LDC leaders that some of their favorite projects would hurt instead of help them. Indexing, for example, would drive some developing countries even deeper into the hole, for they are net importers of commodities." Dietrich Kebschull, of Hamburg's HWWA Institute of Economic Research, says that manufacturers in the developed countries would add the higher cost of their raw materials to the prices of the finished products. Warns Kebschull: "The commodity price increases, which at first may have been helpful to the less developed countries, would hit them badly...
...based on an 18th century work by Jacob Lenz. The hapless tutor, who has to castrate himself to keep his job, is supposed to represent intellectuals in Nazi Germany who kowtowed to Hitler.

If you go, drink lots of coffee first. Recommended only for those who have friends in the cast. At the Loeb, October 29-November 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets...
...credit belongs mainly to the blaring, percussive music which intervenes between scenes.

The director is Jurgen Flimm from the Thalia Theater in Hamburg, Germany, and the play itself is based on an 18th century work by Jacob Lenz. At the Loeb, October 23-26 and October 19-November 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets...
Jose Ferrer impersonates Joe Stalin. John Houseman is Winston Churchill. Ed Flanders is Harry Truman. They were all gathered together on location outside Hamburg for a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV special entitled "Truman at Potsdam." "Truman was an honest, practical man of little intrigue," observed Flanders, best known for his 1974 Tony Award-winning role in A Moon for the Misbegotten. "I just had to stand up straight." Houseman, who won a 1973 Academy Award for his supporting role in The Paper Chase, learned to smoke cigars for his portrayal of Churchill and then picked up some of Winnie...
