Labor, whose promise to deliver growth without inflation hangs upon keeping Britain's petulant trade unions in line, was suddenly confronted with a scattered rash of unofficial strikes.

Its most popular model is its high-speed 3600, a machine that averages $3,000,000 in price, is designed for data processing as well as for scientific problems.

The insiders were placing all their money on "forecast combinations" on the three dogs most likely to lose, thereby running up the odds on the three favorites. A forecast bet is similar to a quinel-la in the U.S., that is, picking the first two finishers in order. They did their job so well that only a single ticket was sold...
