...mini-invasion took place at an exceptionally tense time for Yugoslavia. The government's announcement that it had routed the raiders came two days before four young Croat nationalists were to have gone on trial in Zagreb, the Croatian republic's capital. Although that trial has now been postponed until August, a second trial, involving seven other youths, began last week. Both groups are charged with instigating last year's strike by 30,000 students at Zagreb University, and plotting to separate Croatia from the Yugoslav federation by force...
Foursomes. The hotel was aptly described by one visitor as un maxi-palace pour mini-clients. A four-story white building with a chocolate-tiled roof, Mon Club has one regulation and four practice tennis courts, a stable with eight horses, a gym, a soccer field and two heated swimming pools.

Last week West Germany, Switzerland and Japan imposed new restrictions on investments or bank deposits by foreigners in their countries, thus hoping to limit inflationary increases in their domestic money supplies...
...been at a peak level of 101 cars an hour. Ford's Pinto is the speediest seller of all: 175,000 in the first five months of 1972 v. 131,000 in the same period of 1971. Pinto benefited especially from the introduction early this year of a mini-station wagon that resembles Ford's successful full-sized Country Squire. One auto industry wit unsuccessfully suggested to Ford executives that the Pinto wagon be named the "Country Squirt...
