...central issue in the bargaining will be automation, particularly in the composing room. "We have to have it," insists Times Publisher Arthur Ochs ("Punch") Sulzberger. While many papers elsewhere have clung to life and profits by modernizing technical operations, Bertram Powers, president of Typographical Union No. 6, has forced the New York dailies to retain archaic machinery and procedures. Automation would allow the Times, for one thing, to phase out Linotype machines (a 19th century invention) and install computers that can set type directly from edited copy. Such moves have been anathema to the printers in the past. Ten years...
ARECENT PROPOSAL is to raze Bertram Hall in the Radcliffe Quad to make room for a twin of Mather House. This suggestion does incorporate the two desires for economy in construction and building only on property already owned. But unfortunately it ignores the aesthetic integrity of the Quad, which would be violated by such a cement monstrosity. No one bid the old field house at Radcliffe a tearful farewell when it came down for Currier House, but Currier was designed tastefully of brick and it was outside the Quad anyway. True, Bertram Hall is old and decrepit, and renovation...
Since Vatican II, a number of U.S. dioceses have adopted formal procedures to readmit estranged Catholics to Communion without judging the validity of their existing marriage.

Like so many New York City journalistic shutdowns, the Telegraph's demise involved Bertram Powers and his powerful Local 6 of the Typographical Union. Powers had called the strike, he said, because the parent organization, Triangle Publications, had refused to submit to arbitration the layoff last winter of 20 of the paper's 120 printers. Stewart Hooker, publisher of the Telegraph and its sister sheet, the Daily Racing Form, argued that the printers still had a year to go on their contract, and anyway the 20 who had been laid off were back on the job before...
Even worse findings may lie ahead. Dr. Bertram Carnow of the University of Illinois testified at the trial: "The amount of lead I have seen in El Paso is the highest in both the air and the soil that I have ever seen or heard of." Worried city officials plan a massive examination. "We will be taking blood samples from between 50,000 and 60,000 kids," says Rosenblum. El Paso Mayor Bert Williams, who has campaigned against American Smelting and has consequently been booed by workers fearful of the plant's shutting down, is going to Washington...
