Provoked largely by the fear of even more inflation to come, labor unrest is spreading. There have already been strikes and demands for wage increases by airline employees, policemen and lumbermill workers. Other chronic troubles are the country's economic dependence on imports (50% of its manufactured goods) and the smoldering but deeply felt antagonisms between French-and English-speaking Canadians and between Canada's regions, East and West...
...only black in the class of 1969 at Caltech, Rhodes, the son of a steelworker, was twice elected student-body president-a foretaste of his current political career.

Stump Speeches. For nearly two months, political leaders had turned from Italy's problems-social unrest, a 14.3% annual rate of inflation, and a possible $12 billion balance of payments deficit-while they stumped the country making fiery speeches for or against divorce. Former Premier Amintore Fanfani, boss of the Christian Democratic Party, led the fight for repeal, pleading with voters to save the "integrity of the family and future of our children." Communist Party Chief Enrico Berlinguer countered that divorce was "just and unexpendable...
