Bristling Camp. Some Democratic officials sensed disaster. First an electrical workers' strike ruined prospects for adequate television coverage of the streets, which Daley may not have wanted anyway. The strike, called 14 weeks before the convention, also prevented the installation of telephones and seriously impeded the candidates' operations. Then, nine days before the convention opened, drivers for the city's two major cab companies struck. Racial violence, which mercifully never erupted, was a real prospect. So were angry demonstrations by the young...
...central Viet Nam, reflecting strict Confucian traditions. No such statutes are in effect in the sophisticated south, where most of the French lived. Insulting the dignity of a woman in public is a crime in the south, but not in the center, where such an act would be unthinkable anyway.

There was the same hero, U.S. Steel and its chairman, Roger Blough, who undercut by roughly 50% the price increases posted by the same villain, Bethlehem and its chairman, Edmund Martin. And there was the same Lyndon Johnson, who declared himself pleased with the denouement...

The lovely girl who shared with me a pair of tickets the management so kindly offers to critics kept reminding me how ghastly it was to have to see a great show from a reviewer's seat, making constant mental notes and evaluations on the spot all over the place. But I resisted and refuse to be objective. I know the people who made this Everyman. I've worked with most of them and I love them: partly because...
