...week that Healey's plan will involve a record reduction in real wages of 4% or 5% over the year for British workers. The government is not committing the mistake of its predecessors in making the guidelines enforceable against individual workers or union leaders. Instead, the government will forbid private firms to pass on in higher prices any wage settlement costs above 10%-in effect, they will have to go along or face bankruptcy. Nationalized firms will be allowed to increase their total wage bill...
Last week a five-member panel of priests and laymen voted 3 to 2 to find Wendt guilty. The three priests in the majority (the two dissenters were the laymen) urged Washington Bishop William Creighton to "admonish" Wendt and forbid him to permit "any person whose ordination is not in conformity with the canons of the church"-like one of the women priests, for instance-to function as a minister in his parish.

A society which enforced equal income distribution would have to forbid people from doing things for other people for money after work. The government would have to outlaw capitalist acts between consenting adults. This restricts both what a person can do with his life and his income...
...posts on the roads leading into Saigon to keep out any additional outsiders. Cyclos (pedicabs) have been banned because the government fears that Communist sappers might use them to transport satchel charges into the city. In an effort to prevent riots or a possible coup attempt, new army orders forbid civilians to congregate in groups on the streets or off-duty soldiers to carry their weapons in the capital. Many Saigonese fear rape and rampage by their own troops as much as they dread an invasion by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. There have already been reports from...
