...cause. The riots started in July, when city granaderos, or riot cops, quelled a fight among prep-school boys and briefly occupied one of the school buildings.

Many steelmakers now offer discounts from their just-boosted prices in an effort to keep big customers from turning to foreign suppliers. But prices are still climbing for just about every other kind of product and service, in large part because of wage settlements that averaged nearly 7% during the first half of this year. In an election year, Washington's reaction is to criticize business, and reprove labor gently if at all.

As a result, Britain has been forced to dip into its own gold and foreign currencies to buy sterling in order to keep the pound from falling too far below its $2.40 official price in foreign exchange markets. By midyear, British reserves had shrunk to $2.7 billion, less than half the amount of pounds held by individuals and central banks in the sterling bloc alone. With huge liabilities to many other countries as well, Britain was technically insolvent...
