...convention of the Transport and General Workers' Union last week voted for a motion that effectively scuttled the landmark agreement on wage restraint between Britain's unions and the Labor government of Prime Minister James Callaghan. The vote to demand substantial wage increases was a deep personal humiliation for Jones, who in 1973 had helped draw up the agreement. In a weary voice, he declared that the TGWU action would lead to "a wage scramble, renewed inflation, increased unemployment and new trouble for the pound...
Both sides in the debate agree that the B-l is the hottest bomber ever flown. But is it worth its $102 million price tag? Can it reach targets deep within the Soviet Union if there is a nuclear war? These questions are especially important because, according to present strategy, close to 60% of the U.S. nuclear megatonnage will be carried by manned bombers, the rest by missiles based on land and aboard submarines. Concedes Democratic Senator Sam Nunn, a B-l backer: "Considerable logic can be mustered for either side of the argument...
...outraged conservative Muscovites by exhibiting a nude portrait-a form of art long frowned on by the puritanical Soviet commissars. The figure was readily identifiable as his wife Nina.

Labor is far more intelligent. I know of no business that has a long-term research organization and a long-term ability to work with Congress and the Executive Branch when there is no pressure...
...Paris-New York," the show of some 400 paintings and sculptures installed throughout the summer in Paris' new Tinkertoy Louvre, the Pompidou Center, is one of the most eagerly awaited modern art exhibitions in years. Its theme is epic. For 75 years, a deep current of cultural influence ran between France and America, bearing with it a rich mix of avant-garde nutrients. From 1900 to the end of World War II it flowed west, so that the forms of American modernism were almost all based on prototypes offered by the School of Paris from Cézanne...
