...could explain why Raja'i seemed to mix sugar-coated language with a bit of bile. He declared that once Iran's new message was in American hands, "the U.S. can decide how and when it wishes to take out its spies." The remark was interpreted as yet another threat that Tehran still had it in its power to try the hostages on espionage charges...
...might yet prevail and be reconfirmed as Party Chairman. Still, China's leaders were doing nothing to dispel stories that he had lost power. National newspapers lavishly displayed an article that was filled with oblique but unmistakable criticisms of Hua. "The party's prestige is not high now," the article declared, hardly needing to mention that Hua Guofeng has been the party's leader for nearly five years.

...sure, Winfield was perhaps the brightest diamond among a rather lusterless crop of free agents this year, the 48 veterans who played out their options after at least six years in the majors.

Republican Conservative Monetarist Beryl Sprinkel, chief economist for Chicago's Harris Trust & Savings Bank, predicted that the economy will...
...annual rate of 9.6%, the fastest drop since World War II. But then, with the arrival of summer and the acceleration of Carter's re-election campaign, credit controls were loosened and money became less restricted. The prime rate fell to a low of 11% in July. Yet, after November's presidential election and a new burst of inflation, the Federal Reserve Board once again tightened money, and interest rates began another steep rise, quickly passing the spring's historic interest rate records...
