...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...
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. Since the start of Phase II, the consumer price index has risen at a rate of 4.9%, v. 4.1% in the six months before Nixon imposed the freeze last August.

...Boston studios where Zoom is produced for public television, grownups coach, suggest, choreograph and keep a professional rein on things, thus avoiding the anarchy and flatness that sometimes bedevil NBC's hourlong, live Take a Giant Step.

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...
...fairminded, could reap any reward." As for Dulles, his "vanity more than equalled his talents." At first Dulles told Britain that after seizing the canal, Nasser must be made to "disgorge what he was attempting to swallow." Then the "strange uncertainty of Dulles' own character and the light rein with which the President chose to ride him" began leading American policy along an erratic course. By Macmillan's count, Dulles switched signals at least three times upon taking the canal issue to the TJ.N. He dreamed up the 18-nation Suez Canal Users Association but sabotaged...
