Although the government has urged business and labor to hold down price and wage hikes voluntarily, inflation in 1975 has run at a discouraging compound annual rate of 12.7%, and government economists have predicted that it could reach 16% by year's end. Wage increases have averaged almost 19% yearly-twice the U.S. rate-even though more than 7% of the work force is unemployed. Moreover, Canada has been plagued by more work stoppages than any major...

Once this is done, the hair is partially dried under a heat lamp in a scant 20 minutes, then blown...

"You give space to some of these jerks just because it establishes your credibility," says John G. Craig Jr., executive editor of the Wilmington papers. Cleveland's Vail is somewhat milder: "It's not right to allow everyone to say anything he wants. It becomes an imposition on our readers...
