...that is precisely the kind of contract that future labor negotiations are likely to produce. Two unions of electrical workers have already informed General Electric they will accept no cap in a new agreement, and will require big raises besides to catch up with past inflation. The G.E. contract expires on June 27, and Westinghouse's two weeks later. "Once you get a pattern established, it can be hard to stop," muses an Administration labor official. "When the rank and file in one union see another union strike and get a good settlement, they start agitating...
SHAKESPEARE'S "PERICLES" is perhaps the ultimate romantic comedy--at the end, father and daughter are reunited, and mother returns from the dead. Apparently finding this a little hard to accept in this age of glorified angst, John Cromwell '36 decided to write a modern version of the Shakespeare play, describing what happens after the curtains close on Pericle's happy family...

Kuhn eventually ordered the owners to open up their camps, but there is still no agreement...
...preface to Our Bodies, Ourselvesconcludes, "Learning to understand, accept, and be responsible for our physical selves, we are freed from some of these preoccupations and can start to use our untapped energies. Our image of ourselves is on a firmer base, we can be better friends and better lovers, better people more self-confident, more autonomous, stronger and more whole." The second commercial edition of the book retains that original perspective: it focuses on health care for women, stressing preventive methods, and anything extra is incidental to the information the book offers--though essential to its character...
