Pay Pact Over, Britain Appeals for Restraint on Wages |
|
| |
The Labor government conceded today that its pay curb agreement with the unions - the centerpiece of economic strategy here for two years - had expired. Even so, Denis Healey, chancellor of the Exchequer, pleaded for anti-inflation wage bargains of less than 10 per cent.To sweeten his appeal, Healey announced a $2.2 billion package of tax cuts, subsidies and spending increases. There is little reason, however, to think his plea will be heeded.By the end of the day, union leaders...

Oil Industry Stakes Out Role For the Future |
|
| |
It is in the nature of great empires, history tells us, to proclaim their own immortality, then proceed to decline and ruin.But the world's greatest industrial empire - the American oil industry - intends to accomplish the opposite. It periodically predicts its own demise, while it quietly arranges for permanent hegemony over America's energy business.The United States might run out of oil someday. But there will always be an Exxon.And a Mobil and a Gulf...

Soon that beer can would be dispatched to one of the huge mounds of trash that dot the banks of the little station.Welcome to Southern Maryland perch fishing and the people that make it unique.A... |

When it rains here now, when the skies turn black as the coal in the mountains beneath them, those in the town and the hollows around it stand sentry in the night, waiting for the creeks to rise.The creeks have risen and spilled their banks four times now in the last six months, coursing through Main Street, pouring into storefronts and living rooms. Behind them, the waters leave a heaby brown mud piled high to the windows. With them, the waters take just about everything....

Always it would come up in conversation, sometimes around the dinner table, sometimes wafting in from the parlor where the adults were talking, sometimes coming over from the front seat of the car to the back where the children drowsed, sometimes just a look by a relative, a hint that things had happened that now should not be talked about - things that seemed to matter very much.

I walked right up to him and blurted it out: "Kenny," I asked, "can you have a good time? Can you really enjoy yourself?" He looked at me with surprise. "Can I have a good time?" he echoed.
