- <p> For a few days, it looked as if the on-again-off-again
- negotiations for a worldwide trade accord, as part of the
- Uruguay Round of GATT talks, were finally coming to an end.
- High-level U.S. and E.C. leaders were said to be ever so close
- to signing an agreement. They weren't close enough. At the last
- minute the talks foundered on the same sensitive issue that has
- persistently stymied negotiators: farm subsidies. Unless France
- reverses its rigid opposition to European concessions, it
- appears that a trade pact, if one is ever signed, will come too
- late to bolster George Bush's election prospects.
