Mutinous Mood. Last week, however, no fewer than 1,000 resolutions from union locals demanded an end to the no-strike clause and the slow arbitration process. Union President I.W. Abel managed to prevent the issue from coming to a vote, but he will be under continued severe pressure from the membership to abolish the clause. Abel's reasoned brand of trade unionism is being challenged by militant union members, who are angry about inflation, unemployment, student protest and the direction of society in general. As evidence of the rank and file's mutinous mood, several...

Abel summed up the prevailing feeling of the workers: "It's a mood of great uncertainty, of great frustration coupled with anger, a feeling of some helplessness in the face of what has been happening, a hesitancy about what lies in store for the future."

Appointed to defend Abel at his 1957 trial, Donovan convinced U.S. authorities it was in their interest to spare the agent's life and use him as trade bait; after Powers was captured, his proposition paid off. During 1962-63 he also negotiated the release of 9,700 Bay of Pigs prisoners, their relatives and other political hostages...
