...idea what they were pioneering. But those early prototypes?carrying squealing thrill seekers on wooden sleds for several hundred feet?were an inspiration to 20th century engineers, and the result was the roller coaster.

This year wages may rise by close to 8%. Growth is expected to slow from 2.5% to 1% in 1986. In Denmark, by contrast, inflation and wage in creases are coming down to the rate of its partners in the European Community after years of rapid government spending.
