...York recognizes adultery as the sole ground for divorce. The law thus encourages divorce-bound people to commit little white lies by establishing "residence" in states where the divorce laws are less rigid. Said Bronx Rabbi Maurice J. Bloom in a sermon last week: "It is not fair to the citizenry when only the rich can take dubious advantage of fictitious residence in another state for a brief time, and the less opulent are given an example of avoiding our laws by those who can afford it.

When companies in Württemberg-Baden refused to grant an 8% wage increase to the metalworkers (who now draw an average 77? an hour), Brenner called a strike against such strategic targets as automaking Daimler-Benz and Bosch, which makes electrical systems for most German autos. Other employers retaliated...
