...nearby ranch spotted a suspicious-looking mound. The sheriff's men went back to work and quickly came up with a second corpse. That touched off a thorough search of the orchard country around Yuba City, Calif., a normally placid town (pop. 13,986) on the Feather River 45 miles north of Sacramento. Using shovels and finally a tractor with a scoop, the deputies turned up body after body; by late last week, continuing a crescendo of horror, they had found 21 bodies-mostly of middle-aged white itinerant farm workers, all of them apparently hacked to death with...

Few expect this week's scheduled meeting between Heath and Trades Union Congress Leader Victor Feather to start a real dialogue. Even if the seven-week strike of the 230,000-member Union of Post Office Workers ends this week as anticipated, by the end of April the number of working days lost in British industry may exceed the total of 10,970,000 for all of last year. That would be the worst record since...
