...cost the British economy perhaps as much as $300 million. There was no reason not to, since the seamen had obtained nearly everything they wanted: a reduction of the work week to 40 hr. by next June (meaning more overtime), plus the promise of a whopping 48 days of annual leave. The settlement will increase the shipowners' labor costs at least 9.5% over a two-year period, shattering Wilson's 3.5% annual-increase guideline against inflation.

In a plot that tingles with incentives, "the five richest men in the territory" converge on a poky frontier town for their annual poker classic. An Indian massacre would probably cause less excitement, certainly less fanaticism. To get there on time, Mortician Charles Bickford all but burns the wheels off his best hearse. Landowner Jason Robards, biting into every line like a hungry barracuda, walks out on his daughter's wedding...
