Leg thrusts (under the seat in front) and shoulder rolls follow...
...prognosis is grim for new talks on restraints. Until now the TGWU's adherence to the contract had discouraged other unions from breaking the wage-restraint agreement.

If I move, I'd like to go to Seattle or Toronto, to new clubs that are building...
...General Dynamics' total revenues ($2.5 billion last year), the firm is the nation's largest defense contractor. With nearly a decade of squabbles with the Pentagon regarding cost overruns on the F-111 fighter now behind it, General Dynamics' current multi-billion-dollar contract to produce 500 hot, single-engine F-16 interceptors for four NATO countries and the U.S. promises to keep earning income for the company for perhaps the next two decades...
