Tantamount to Heresy. By the time a chill rain ended the fighting on the fourth day, I.R.A. leaders were claiming that their cause had been strengthened. Their strategy is to force Faulkner into a spiral of violence leading to suspension of the Ulster government and a return to direct rule by London for the first time in 50 years; finally, they hope, it would lead to a political settlement between London and Dublin...
...clauses have been written into almost every big labor contract negotiated since 1969; and wages in the future will automatically go up along with inflation. As soon as steel settles, organized labor may make a broad-based push for a firm incomes policy to hold down the wage-price spiral. Such an effort is already building.

He told TIME Correspondent Jess Cook that he had "no present recollection" of the cable, but "I might well have written...

Traditionally, artists seek out a district where space is cheap and plentiful, like the Greenwich Village brownstones four decades ago. Then a price spiral begins with the arrival of uptown people seeking a chic downtown pad. Rent up, artists out; the drift begins again. New Yorkers, being neurotically fashion-addicted, not only use artists as their Seeing-Eye dogs but promptly usurp their kennels...
