...United Farmworkers, under the leadership of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, are slowly changing all that. The grape strike and boycott of the late 1960s won contracts from all major California and Arizona table grape growers by 1970. But the other produce industries remain to be tackled, one by one, until the growers will agree to provide wages, security, working conditions and benefits that have been considered basic in most industries for decades, and more importantly, until they recognize the workers' own choice of union representation. That can only be done by putting consumer pressure on the non-union growers...

...other cities resulted in a budget crunch that finally brought to a head the whole complex question of how education of all Americans can be made more nearly equal-and more equitably financed. That conundrum is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. Since 1971, courts in seven states-Texas, Arizona, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and Wyoming-have ruled that using local property taxes to finance public education is unconstitutional.

Two other Jovian moons, Callisto and Io, also show signs of frost particles, but the evidence is slightly less certain. While the discovery of water on Jupiter's four inner moons does not necessarily mean that life forms exist on any of them, the scientists noted, it increases...

REPRESENTATIVE MORRIS ("MO") UDALL, 50, has represented Arizona since 1961, when his brother Stewart left Congress to become Secretary of the Interior. An energetic outdoorsman and one of the House's leading conservationists, Udall broke with Lyndon Johnson over Viet Nam in 1967, hurt his chances to rise to formal party leadership when he made an abortive run for the Speakership against John McCormack in 1969. Another Democratic reformer, Udall has focused on the seniority system, which he believes is largely responsible for making the House unresponsive and ineffective...
