...leap orders China's 74,000-odd communes to forget about any aid from Peking. They have been told that henceforth they themselves-not the government-must remunerate schoolteachers and medical personnel working in the countryside. Commune members are to make their own simple farm tools, freeing industry for more sophisticated production. Moreover, Peking is pushing a frugality theme to such a degree that celebrations for the New Year, China's biggest and happiest holiday, were woefully crimped last month...

Without a dissenting nay, the assembly decreed that the collared lizard, known as "the mountain boomer" amid the hills of Ouachita and Wichita, will henceforth be designated as the Sooner State's official reptile...

Since the Israeli attack, Lloyd's has increased MEA's premiums for war-risk coverage eighteenfold, and has imposed a ceiling on what it will pay henceforth: a maximum of $8,150,000 each for no more than two airplanes. Lloyd's is imposing similar conditions on Israel's El Al and all other airlines operating intensively in the Middle East area...
