...become a cause not only for Catholic activists but also for New Left militants, Communists and even a few liberal Protestants. Last summer near the town of Dungannon, a 29-year-old opposition M.P. named Austin Currie staged a sit-in to protest the assignment of a family flat to the unmarried teenage secretary of a Unionist bigwig.

After undergoing abdominal surgery in 1963, he was transferred to prison at Lewisburg, Pa., and allowed to study dental technology...

The splurge was all the more alarming to domestic producers because the Europeans and Japanese made especially strong gains in the flat-rolled products that are used in such key industries as autos and appliances...
