...clear-cut issue of wages, the Government's conflict with air-traffic controllers is far more complex. It involves a challenge to the efficacy of Federal Aviation Administration equipment and safety procedures as well as salary, working conditions, rivalry among unions and the personality of Attorney F.

...civil service controllers. Ostensibly, PATCO members left their radarscopes last week to emphasize claims that their facilities are understaffed and that the controllers themselves are overworked and underpaid (though some of them gross $21,000 a year). One key factor nobody thought to mention was ambition-Bailey...
Last week's outbreak of "fatigue" among the controllers, the cause of the third air-traffic snarl in 20 months, had been forecast by PATCO a week in advance.

"Real revolution won't occur until poor whites as well as poor blacks realize they are oppressed," Bailey explains. Bailey's career is typical of the new opportunities opening for talented young blacks. Born in Harlem, he got scholarship funds to Pratt Institute. He appeared in the Whitney...
