...friends in the Arab world-belongs to Iran. For another, the British-American Consortium that operates Iran's own enormous oilfields refuses to bow to his demands to double production (now a record 130 million tons a year) in the next five years to finance his national-development program. The Shah is not at all impressed by consortium claims that the world oil mar ket is already glutted. Last month, when several of the consortium's member companies started drilling for offshore Saudi Arabian oil in the Persian Gulf, the Shah was so incensed that he dis patched...
Trudeau's program will not depart dramatically from Pearson's policies. His toughest problem is Canada's constitutional crisis.

Trudeau strongly opposes French separatism and argues persuasively for a genuinely federal system.

Mott, who spends little on himself, also donated the land and two main buildings for a two-year community college in Flint. He views the multifaceted Flint program as a pioneering effort designed to be copied by other cities. Some 70,000 educators have already come to Flint to inspect its schools firsthand, and more than 100 other communities have started versions of the Flint program. The University of Michigan even offers an M.A.-level course on the program at its Mott-built Flint branch. The 54 "interns" now in the year-long course get a minimum $5,000 stipend...
