...holding down public spending and wages, he has been able to stabilize the erratic peso, slow inflation, reverse the flight of capital and stimulate private investment. After several sluggish years, Mexico's gross national product is now increasing by about 6% annually. Lopez Portillo has also promoted a certain degree of political liberalization, although his Institutional Revolutionary Party (P.R.I.) continues to dominate Mexican politics as it has for the past 50 years. To no one's surprise, the P.R.I, swept up some 70% of the popular vote in this month's congressional elections...

In the words of Rightfielder Singleton: "We call it going to the books, as in, 'He went to the books on you, and you get a day off.' " One additional advantage: no one languishes on the bench for too long...
...committed, heads-busted-on-picket-lines generation has to be out by 1983. Fraser is the first to admit that the union could "go the way of all flesh." But he is convinced that "we are steeped in tradition and history that is apt to produce a certain kind of leadership." Surely tomorrow's auto union chiefs, whoever they are, will learn quite a bit from watching how Fraser handles the problem of asking for more in a lean year...
