...Brunswick's York-Sunbury riding was one to watch. It would be a gauge of public feeling on such close-to-home issues as the rising cost of living.

...north side of Chicago's Michigan Avenue Bridge, in a small circle of dignitaries, Mayor Martin Kennelly and International Harvester Co.'s Fowler McCormick last week unveiled a plaque.

Only this week 8,000 Harvester workers ended a four-day walkout over the discharge of three men.
