Some Indian leaders welcomed Watt's recognition that the reservations face series problems. But most were puzzled by the Secretary's omission of some decidedly non-socialist government actions that have contributed to the American Indian's troubles over the year--from the warfare and broken treaties of the 1800's to the present Administration's cutbacks in Indian housing, health, and nutrition programs...
When the votes were tallied in the Sunday election, Palme had won what some observers called his "first real victory" in 13 years as party leader. The Social Democrats swept back to power by winning 166 seats against a combined total of 163 seats for the three-party non-Socialist bloc...
...left than an expression of public disenchantment with the austerity policies of outgoing Prime Minister Thorbjörn Fälldin. During his five years in power, the stubborn sheep farmer juggled three governments in an unsuccessful bid to forge a unified coalition among Sweden's fractious non-Socialist parties.

The unions simply do not trust the non-socialist coalition now led by Prime Minister Thorbjorn Falldin. Many Swedes believe that L.O. has sanctioned the current strikes primarily to bring down Falldin's government, thereby paving the way for a return to power of his Social Democratic predecessor, Olof Palme...
