...some operators predict that the industry will eventually adopt a two-tier approach to bargaining: one for issues on which all members agree, the other for issues on which they are split. For instance, the operators are equally concerned with increasing productivity. Said Madison, W. Va., Mine-owner Herbert Kinder: "Give the operators a stable work force, and the miners could have anything they want." But the owners are divided over the proposed contract's requirement that miners pay up to $200 in deductibles for medical care. Said a small Pennsylvania operator: "The deductibles are tiny, but the miners...
...incident colored the rest of her life. Archibald Christie, a chilly, willful man, remarried anyway. Agatha spent the next years mostly out of England, traveling in remote parts of the Middle East until she found a kinder husband, the archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan. She began to create a series of lonely, high-strung heroines, and soon fashioned a sleuth, Jane Marple, whose method of detection is based on solid premises: appearances are misleading and to trust is to be deceived...

But that understanding serves only to deepen his anger and his isolation...

Noted at least partly for his prodigious output -47 novels, five travel books, and innumerable articles-he has never been ranked higher than third or fourth among his peers in Victorian England, after Dickens, George Eliot and probably Thackeray. Readers, however, have been kinder, and Trollope has always enjoyed an enthusiastic following. During World War II, for example, he ranked first in the esteem of English readers, and Londoners took him down to the Tubes to help them forget the German bombs exploding above. Trollope sales rose then in the U.S. as well...
