...interested in Dance-New England, give Articulture a call; they report series subscriptions and individual tickets are going quite quickly. However, if you'd like to experience some of the leaps and twists without making a dent in your wallet, check out the action at the Faneuil Hall marketplace, where three of the local groups will perform in a free, outdoor mini-series. This Sunday Danceworks will entertain the crowd at 4, 5, and 6 p.m.; Dancentral and Becky Arnold and Dancers will follow suit, respectively, on May 6 and May 20. It's a great way to experience...

That certainly would not amount to victory over inflation, but at least the trend would be favorable...
...Communist pledge to cooperate in a three-year government economic recovery plan, for example, had been attacked by workers who felt that they would suffer from new austerity measures and wage restraints. Similarly, the Andreotti government's failure to make a dent in unemployment, which rose from 1.5 million to 1.7 million in 1978, caused the jobless to criticize Berlinguer for not pushing through employment programs...
