Alien Provisions. Whether the E.T.U.'s capitulation proves to be a lasting victory for Tory Prime Minister Edward Heath depends on whether or not the Court of Inquiry rules in favor of the Electricity Council, which had offered the workers only $4.80 more a week. Nonetheless, Heath's success in preserving his hard line has for the moment given pause to imminent inflationary wage claims by other nationalized public workers, including employees of Britain's railway, post office and waterworks. It has also increased his personal popularity. A Gallup poll taken during the E.T.U. slowdown indicated that...
...insistent demand for affection without the traditional supporting structure has dangers of its own. The pioneering sociologist Edward Wester-marck observed that "marriage rests in the family and not the family in marriage." The corollary used to be that the family existed for many practical purposes beyond love. To base it so heavily on love?including the variable pleasures of sexual love?is to weaken its stability...
...same kind of chatter, ranging from the highly practical to the merely cathartic, is occurring regularly at Stateside naval bases. At South Carolina's Charleston Naval Station, Captain Edward P.

Heeding Prime Minister Edward Heath's feelings, the Electricity Council held fast to an offer of $4.80 a week. As the power shortage worsened and the Queen proclaimed a state of emergency, more and more Britons felt deep resentment toward the workers...
...bargainer; still his act will be tough to follow. Although criticized for his arrogance and for the woefully uneven quality of Met productions, he undeniably brought the company back from the edge of artistic bankruptcy and vanishing prestige to which it had fallen under the regime of the late Edward Johnson. By the time Bing quits, he will have lasted 22 seasons−longer than any other general manager except Giulio Gatti-Casazza (1908-35). But if charm counts for anything, and it certainly does among the matrons and patrons of the Met, Gentele should be able to match Rudi...
