...meeting room upstairs at the Ollerton colliery welfare building in the Nottingham-Midlands coal field looked like a converted high school gymnasium. After an hour and a half downstairs of lager and bitter at a small communal bar, the miners filed into the room, noisy and nervous. Pea green was the color in vogue and woolen socks topped off waterlogged boots. A few sport jackets, an occasional tie, and two or three old brown frayed Stetsons dotted the crowd...
...week's end there was one slender hope for an eleventh-hour settlement. Reversing an earlier decision, Heath set a new meeting for this week with the Trades Union Congress, which represents 10 million workers, and the Confederation of British Industry, Britain's largest manufacturers' association. He has asked them to consider a possible compromise based on a "pay relativities" study just issued by the National Pay Board. The study provides for a public inquiry board to recommend wage boosts on the basis of working conditions and the national importance of the industry. Under such criteria...
...G.M.T. one morning last week, as the disengagement agreement specified, an Israeli officer formally surrendered Kilometer 101 to the United Nations Emergency Force. A little more than an hour later the last five Israeli half-tracks and Jeeps pulled out.

Finally, Egyptian troops reoccupied the road to Suez. TIME Correspondent Wil ton Wynn, who followed them, filed this report...
...first time in its 90-year history? Fair questions, which were not entirely answered by the premiere performance at Lincoln Center last week. Yet the Met's brief for Vespri contains any number of good points. Conductor James Levine and Stage Director John Dexter eliminated a half-hour's worth of ballet (wisely, considering the Met's declivity for dance) and edited the work down to three acts, running a relatively tidy 3½ hours. Then there were the principal singers: Sopra no Montserrat Caballe, Tenor Nicolai Gedda, Baritone Sherrill Milnes, Bass Justino Diaz. They constituted...
Chile: with poems and guns is an hour-long documentary which dissolves the myths U.S. readers were fed about the government of Salvador Allende. It shows how these lies and distortions were rooted in misconceptions about the Chile before Allende's government. The film was produced collectively by members of the Los Angeles Group for Latin American Solidarity, eight filmmakers, writers, and historians who put what they call a film pamphlet together. It is based on a script by Charles Horman, a U.S. citizen killed by the junta after the U.S. Santiago embassy denied him asylum...
