Dark Conspiracies. Until the reforms take hold, Valencia is pleading with labor unions to "give the government a chance to repair the damage wrought by Congress and the last Cabinet." He is getting scant sympathy. More than 92,000 unpaid schoolteachers and clerks and 18,000 employees of Colombia's judiciary system were on strike last week, and 45 major unions have called a general strike for Oct. 1. Many Colombians are simply throwing up their hands. Eugenio GÓmez GÓmez, a member of Valencia's own party, flatly turned down the President...

The figure is much higher if short-term unemployment is included: an estimated 11 million Soviet workers switch jobs each year, each averaging an unpaid layoff of 30 days. The problem has become so serious that for the first time it is being openly discussed in the Soviet Union. Kitchen Gardeners. Primed by a high postwar birth rate and changes in the Soviet economy, unemployment has become particularly bothersome in Lithuania, Moldavia, Byelorussia, Siberia...
With a "College Board" of some 1,500 girls who spend their spare time contributing news of campus fads and fashions, the fashion magazine Mademoiselle may well boast one of the largest unpaid reportorial staffs in the publishing world. The only reward for correspondents comes each spring, when 20 of the comeliest and most conscientious are entertained and photographed in New York and then packed off for a week's gaiety in Europe...
