...posters that sprang up across Britain last week showed long lines at an unemployment office and carried a stinging message: LABOUR ISN'T WORKING. The posters drew howls from ruling Labor Party benches in the House of Commons-thereby letting the opposition Conservatives know they had struck a raw nerve or two. The Tories had fired the first salvo in an undeclared campaign for the election that Prime Minister James Callaghan is expected to call some time in the autumn...

As deputy leader of the Social Democratic Labour Party, which he helped found in 1970, he now seeks to establish a government in Ulster that would distribute power fairly between the two sections of the community. But first, he says, he wants to see an end to the violence in Ulster. "Violence cannot be used to effect political change...
