...University's latest move to break the morale deadlock and move on to the pressing economic issues is an example of this seeming insensitivity to the union's position. In the lull since the contract talks recessed late last month, University negotiators have, at the instruction of the federal mediator handling the negotiations, staged a search for a third party to help resolve the reorganization problems. Yet from the start University and union officials have apparently held different views of the type of intermediary needed to solve the problem. While Henry Wise '18, attorney for the Police Association, has called...
...Czechoslovakia. After a brief lull the official Czechoslovak press resumed its ferocious attacks on the nearly 500 signers of Charter 77, a manifesto calling for compliance with the Helsinki human rights accord. The charter had provoked the alarm and fury of the regime because its adherents include the country's foremost writers and intellectuals, plus ousted leaders of the liberal regime of Alexander Dubcek. Last week the charter was endorsed by Dubcek himself, who has been working for the forestry office in Bratislava since he was deposed by the Russian invaders...

Known reserves may well be nearing depletion before the end of the century, sending crude production on an irreversible decline-and before that point is reached, demand pressures will push petroleum prices to confiscatory levels, threatening economic chaos. So current consumption...
...actions indicate that Burns, like Carter, is worried by the persistence of the lull in the business recovery and strengthen hopes that the two can avoid an outright clash over economic policy. Speculation that they might be on a collision course arose shortly after the election, when Burns warned Congress that stimulation of the economy risked speeding up inflation. But Burns was careful not to come out flatly against the tax cut that many of Carter's economic advisers want. Lately he has been passing the word that he might eventually back a cut if the economy continues...
