Truly trivial matter, but does anyone know why an ampersand (&) inserted as
part of a label on a report doesn't print?

You need to double them up if you expect them to display:
Rest && Relaxation
This is because the ampersand has special functionality for short-cut keys
in forms (and reports).

& in a Caption property is used to underline the next
character (useful for indentifying a shortcut key). To
avoid that behavior use &&
