...other such acts are nothing more than expressions of the fanatical self-destructiveness of Palestinian terrorists crazed by hyperbolic ideology, then we can hope to see little progress in the area. When reputable Arab groups and governments recognize this problem and decide to stop giving the terrorists the free rein they require to operate, then terrorism may be curbed as it was in Jordan, and the immediate problem solved. Only then will Israel be prepared to sit down and resolve the more basic problems...
...home, Snedden scored points by promising to restore the incentives to foreign investment that Whitlam took away-necessary incentives, Snedden argued, if Australia is to develop its vast resources-and pledged to give free enterprise a looser rein. Most important of all, he promised to put a curb on the country's worrisome economic problem, inflation, which is now running at the rate of 14% a year.

...certain areas when controls disintegrate, John Dunlop, chief of COLC, has been the only Administration official vigorously lobbying for continuance of some kind of economic restraints, particularly on the construction industry and medical services. About 4,000 construction labor contracts expire this year, and without some kind of rein, the building trades unions are expected to push for wage increases ranging from about 10% to 34%. Freed from controls, doctors' fees and hospital charges, in Dunlop's view, could leap 5%. Yet Dunlop's repeated warnings were greeted with apathy by congressional leaders...
