...anger and fear began to take hold, the movement reached beyond its traditional constituencies, taking on a dimension that surprised even its organizers. Finally, this autumn it reached a crescendo. More than 2 million Western Europeans have demonstrated so far in the streets of the Continent's major cities???and weekend after weekend the huge parades...
WAGES. Poll asked for a $10,000 across-the-board annual increase for all controllers. Their pay now ranges from $20,462? the starting salary at some 100 unhurried airports serving small cities???to $49,229. The wages increase with the difficulty of the job (starting pay at one of the busy "birdcages" near New York, Chicago and Los Angeles is $37,000). On top of that, Poli wanted a twice-a-year, cost-of-living increase that would be 1½ times the rate of inflation. The FAA offered a $4,000 wage hike, which would have included...

Its economy, based on the renewable resources of forests and farms, is expanding strongly. Its biggest manufacturer, Boeing, has a $5 billion backlog of orders.

There are too few blacks for any real racial problems, and the small Indian minority?.8% of the population?is fighting in the courts, not the streets, for such goals as regaining water rights...
Bright Outlook. Not all has been success. Radio Shack stores in big cities have done less well than those in small towns?perhaps because Tandy's locations, shopping malls, are rarely found in large cities???and the company's outlets in Europe and Japan are faring so poorly that Tandy has put a freeze on expansion there. But overall, the outlook is bright. Electronics buffs say Radio Shack's products are reasonably priced and of good quality. As CBers clamor for new 40-channel "ears," Tandy can relish his own CB "handle": Mr. Lucky...
