...college, worked at odd jobs and went through a painful break with her parents. But last December she married Director Rick Edelstein in New York. "We didn't fight for almost five days afterward," she reports proudly. Her constantly diminishing free time-she is now at work on Autumn Child, a psychological thriller-is spent cultivating her garden, working on a record album, playing volleyball, relishing her three stepchildren and her status as a newlywed. She talks incessantly-in short, clipped phrases-stopping now and then just long enough to scribble the names Sally and Rick Edelstein...

This may be precisely why he will." What he meant was that after five governments in 27 months, warring factions in the four-party governing coalition might let things ride for a while.

He is an elitist in surviving hardships...
Nonetheless, it seemed clear last week that the bureau's key decision makers were leaning toward "recession." They figure that the downturn started in the autumn of 1969 and may have reached its low point in November of 1970, even though the nation is still suffering some downbeat effects. Last week the Labor Department announced that unemployment rose from 5.8% in November to 6% in December. That was the highest jobless rate since December...
