Stocks of big manufacturers that use metals plunge on Trump's tariff plan

By
 President Trump says he is a champion of manufacturing, but his steel and aluminum tariff plan is driving a big sell-off in the industry's shares.

Multiple Wall Street banks cautioned clients against investing in the American manufacturing industry Friday as some of the nation's largest machinery companies are dropping.

Crane machinery and equipment manufacturer Manitowoc's shares declined by nearly 10 percent since Wednesday's close, while rival Terex fell by more than 7 percent in the same time period.

"Tariffs may limit President Trump's quest to be 'the greatest jobs president that God ever created,' at least within the U.S. counties that rely on machinery," Barclays analyst Adam Seiden quipped. "The Peterson Institute projects job losses in many key areas of Trump's political base that happens to align with areas of outsized machinery manufacturing assets."

Trump announced his plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on imported steel and a 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum Thursday, sending the Dow Jones industrial average tumbling more than 500 points since Wednesday.

Key players recall 1968 Polish student revolt, ensuing anti-Semitism

By
In March 1968, a student revolt crushed by Poland's baton-wielding police was used as a pretext for an anti-Semitic purge by the communist regime. It began when the communists banned the 19th-century play "Forefathers' Eve" by poet Adam Mickiewicz claiming it had anti-Russian elements. Two students who contested the ban were expelled from the University of Warsaw, prompting their peers to stage a demonstration on March 8. Backed by other civil groups, particularly workers unhappy with daily life under communism, the pro-democracy protests spread to other cities. The regime used the student revolt as an excuse to unleash an anti-Semitic campaign that was rooted in a settling of scores inside the Communist Party, which was split into two camps.
