Thermometers plunged toward zero, and so did labor relations at South Bend's Studebaker-Packard plant, strikebound for three weeks. As pickets huddled to keep warm one day last week, a black Mercedes-Benz picked a path toward the main gate. At the wheel was Studebaker's Hollywood-handsome president, Sherwood Harry Egbert, 41. Pickets closed around his sedan, refused to let Egbert through unless he showed a union pass...
Whale or minnow, the incident did not improve South Bend's nerves. Until the current strike, Studebaker-Packard and the United Auto Workers had got along as well as two men struggling to keep a raft afloat in an ocean. In the past seven years, only eight production days had been lost to strikes. The U.A.W. had even accepted lower wages from S.P. than from the industry's Big Three to help the company survive...

"I am not a mathematician," Mr. Candela asserts, "and this is difficult to explain." Perhaps the easiest way to understand the principle is to remember that at any point on a saddle a straight line may be drawn which does not leave the surface, as it would, for example, with a sphere. And where the geometrician can draw straight lines, the carpenter can nail planks...
...malicious attacks. Professional planners, who are thoroughly trained in the social and behavioral sciences, share her concern. Most of Jacobs' slanted facts are correct, but her whipping boy-should be the quacks, who parade as public or private planners because they have funds to invest or can bend over a drawing board...
