...union members strike benefits. That only made the T.W.U. madder and brought charges that the Authority was trying to bust the union. "As a result," said Douglas MacMahon, "negotiations are now at a standstill." No one was quite sure just how long New Yorkers would have to walk, but everyone suddenly recalled that Mike Quill had predicted a long strike, perhaps as long as 28 or 29 days...

In the past 69 years, the market has risen 43 times in January, to the point that the upsurge has become a post-Christmas tradition. But never has there been anything like last week. Day after day, the Dow-Jones industrial average broke its own alltime records. At week's end the average had reached 986.13, less than 14 points from the 1000 mark that the Street considers a mystical number. Even though...
