...announcement by Chancellor of the Exchequer Roy Jenkins followed a spate of encouraging indicators. After running a $600 million trade deficit in 1968, Britain last year piled up an estimated $1 billion surplus. Reflecting a return of international confidence in sterling, monetary traders last week bid the pound above par-which is $2.40 -for the first time in 20 months...
...harder were France, with a third of the population stricken in December, and Italy. The Italians originally named the disease (la influenza, to designate "the influence" of an unusual conjunction of the planets) seven centuries ago. This time they blamed it not on the planets but on the return of the Apollo 12 astronauts and called it "moon flu" (TIME, Dec. 19). The epidemic struck first in the north, spread relentlessly down the leg to the very toe of Italy, and last week was rampant in Sicily.

...message. In one, a dark hand shakes and holds onto a white hand, and a voice asks, "All things considered, that's not very much, is it?"

In the shifting, echoing cacophony of sound and sometimes fury that is the modern rock scene, The Band has now emerged as the one group whose sheer fascination and musical skill may match the excellence?though...
...Return of the Herd (see detail, page 58), one hears it first of all. Not only the lowing of cattle in the last watery rays of an autumn afternoon, but also the squish of mud beneath their hoofs and the crows' jeering overhead. The cattle are coming down from their mountain pastures. Most will be slaughtered, but a lucky few may winter with their masters in out of the wind. Beyond, and below, the last of the grapes are being gathered. Dionysus, god of wine, once stole the cattle of the sun. A castle gleams like teeth...
