Labor unrest is hitting Europe. In Britain last week, striking truck drivers disrupted imports and food deliveries. In Spain, state employees briefly shut down the railroads in one of the biggest walkouts since the civil war. French steelworkers struck in Lorraine for a day to protest job cuts. But peace of sorts came to the Ruhr Valley as West German steelworkers voted to end a bitter 45-day strike...
With today's high prices and soaring sales taxes, peddlers are finding eager customers in such disparate places as the Coconut Grove section of Miami, Washington, D.C.'s Capitol Hill, the French Quarter of New Orleans and Manhattan's Wall Street.

Bakhtiar has long been an outspoken opponent of the Shah. He spent two years in prison for his activities with...
...Jules and Jim with Laurel and Hardy in the title roles. Imagine Bunuel's Tristana with a new screenplay by Henry Miller. Imagine-well, what's the point? There really isn't any way to anticipate the special charms of Get Out Your Handkerchiefs. This rhapsodic French comedy about men, women and sex is an honest-to-God original with its own challenging brands of humor, style and wisdom. It is the first revolutionary film to come out of France since the decline of the New Wave in the late...
