...Democrats. For the moment, some leading Democrats are lining up behind rationing, but there is one notable exception. Washington Senator Henry Jackson, a respected energy expert on the Hill, puts it well down on his list of policy alternatives. He has not curtly dismissed rationing as "a last resort," as the President did last week. But that could be one point on which "Scoop" Jackson and Jerry Ford are at least close to agreement...
...average cost per couple of $1,000. Jack Benjamin, a salesman in the languishing retail-garment trade, recently took his wife for a week at the Club Mediterranee in Martinique-a trip that set them back $1,400. Now they have paid for a return visit to the same resort in March.

Within this bastion, delegates from the three major liberation movements met for six days with Portuguese government delegates and worked out a plan...
Syria's President Hafez Assad and Lebanon's President Suleiman Franjieh met briefly in the Lebanese town of Chtoura, a honeymoon resort that is the local equivalent of Niagara Falls. The setting was significant: though their discussions concerned the situation with Israel, the meeting was the first formal summit between leaders of the two often contentious neighbors since 1947. Franjieh reportedly refused to allow Syrian troops inside his country short of an all-out Israeli assault, and agreed only to "military coordination" with Damascus. Even Israeli diplomats decided that the meeting had temporarily lessened tension along the northern...
