...seems to me that union members should be held individually responsible for the be havior of their representatives. Perhaps the threat of a substantial fine might arouse a keener interest in how the votes are counted and how the money is spent...
...competition for available funds has been intensified by the crisis in Treasury borrowing. Since the Treasury, restricted by the 4¼% interest-rate ceiling on long-term bonds, can no longer sell such securities, it has had to compete against consumers and small business for available funds in the short-term market. Last week the Treasury's borrowing costs for short-term money rose to 3.979%, up from the 3.889% paid four days earlier, and the highest since the 4.25% paid during the bank holiday...

While it has turned down the President's plea for authority to raise the 4¼% ceiling on long-term bonds, the House approved a bill to permit the President to raise interest rates on E and H savings bonds to 3¼ from the current 3.26%.

Asked the newspaper: "Is the stock market becoming the soccer field of tomorrow?" In Holland...
...island. The central character is a blonde, green-eyed girl, found as a baby by a drink-fuddled Greek fisherman and grown into a woman who has the local boys dreaming. By most fictional standards, this should be the cutoff point, the end of any sensible man's interest in a novel called The Mermaid Madonna. No one should make that mistake. Author Stratis Myrivilis is probably the finest of living Greek writers. The Mermaid Madonna is the first of his books to come to the U.S., and even with its liberal dash of corn it introduces a writer...
