...mood. Indeed, there is evidence of restraint elsewhere in shipping. Last month the National Maritime Union, which speaks for 15,000 merchant seamen, agreed to a three-year contract with increases less than half as big as the dockers collected. The seamen apparently know that if they do not rein in their wage demands, they may continue to lose jobs to foreign ships...
...muscle and mayhem, foists his sulky amateur rider-son on a professional British trainer. He orders that the boy is to ride the stable's best horses in a series of important races. The book is not absolutely first-rate Francis. It does not hold a tight enough rein on incredulity (a rare thing for Francis), and its crisis boils up too fast and fizzles out too bloodily (also a rare thing for Francis). But as always, readers are deftly induced to care about the people as well as the horses, and there is a quota of familiar...
Flyaway Food. The importance of putting some kind of rein on food prices is becoming painfully clear. The Labor Department reported that in February consumer prices jumped at an annual rate of some 6%, largely because of the fattest monthly rise in grocery prices in 14 years-almost 23% at an annual rate.

At the end of last week's show, they urged young viewers ("Zoomers") to write in for song lyrics...
...played by Thommy Berggren) off the boat in New York, winds him across the continent to a union career in California, and eventually drops him in Salt Lake City to be framed and executed. Because of Hill's own reluctance to discuss his past, Widerberg's imagination has free rein at the beginning. The New York sequence with its shots of skid row hits harder than anything else in the picture. Still, Widerberg feels compelled to add a romance nipped at the bud and a cute little street urchin who teaches Joe the city's lore. Joe leaves to search...
