...domestic matters, Pompidou pushed for an expansionist economic policy that would modernize French industry and improve living standards. He was determined to avoid a repetition of the unrest and riots of 1968. Until last year his approach succeeded. But then France, as the rest of the non-Communist world, was hit by soaring inflation (10.3% in 1973) that eroded real wages and led to wildcat strikes. The Gaullist candidate in the presidential elections will probably be blamed for the faltering economy, as well as a succession of untidy government scandals that the ailing Pompidou seemed unable to prevent: the illegal...
Morrissey seems to be playing dodge with the question. He says that he senses no ill-feeling or unrest on the campus, and that this is the quietest year in a long time. He says he tries to help anyone who comes to talk to him about problems at the school. For example, he says he spoke with a student-faculty group that came to him last April to protest the second attempt to fire Allen. He promised them that Allen would be rehired.

This deterioration is inexplicable because many of the questions...
Eventually, of course, Wilson must confront some hard decisions. In the budget message later this month, he will have to indicate which programs will be slashed or which taxes raised to provide the funds for his generous welfare increases. He also faces potential union unrest. There is the danger that the hefty wage boost he granted to the coal miners (up to 30% in some cases) will embolden other workers when their contracts expire this year. This could land Wilson in the same dilemma that led to Heath's recent electoral defeat: a battle with the unions to restrain...
