It works less well once the party leaders don their bowler hats, pick up their dispatch cases and move into Whitehall. Then the unions naturally enough expect their reward.

The duchess still faces the possibility of trial on similar charges in other courts, but the newly established precedent offered fresh cause for optimism. "In Spain," the duchess once said...
...ready to test the performance of their complex craft in space, astronauts put in long months of practice in equally complicated machines at the Manned Spacecraft Center near Houston (see color pages). There, in computer-operated simulators, replicas of spacecraft interiors, they go through complete missions.

In the process they will be fully occupied keeping track of 24 instruments, 566 switches and 40 "on-off" in dicators that show which systems are operating...
