...unions are not. They are, in fact, a study in furious frustration. They promoted a boycott of the paper's advertisers, but with little success. A Hearst strike in San Francisco, supported by Los Angeles pickets, was settled last week. The unions claim that they cannot get management to negotiate. Their picketing has proved ineffectual, even when it was reinforced by occasional mob scenes in front of the Examiner. Non-union people were beaten up, windows smashed. But the police have cleared the area of all but the legal number of pickets. The best the unions...
...dilapidated South Side headquarters, Jackson fixed his strategy in April 1966 in his first campaign against a dairy with 104 outlets in Negro neighborhoods. Jackson's request to examine the company's employment rolls was refused.

North Korea and North Viet Nam are not expected to show because they fear losing Chinese aid and diplomatic support. Cuba's Fidel Castro is not sending anyone because...
...Edwards' Olympic boycott has drawn more scoffs than support from Negro athletes. Last week, though, he did find one pressure point to hit: the rigidly all-white New York Athletic Club, which was celebrating the 100th anniversary of its annual track meet at Manhattan's new Mad ison Square Garden. With the support of militant Negro groups, including H. Rap Brown's ill-named Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Edwards got scores of Negroes to withdraw from the meet. For those who remained unconvinced, he announced that he would throw a picket line around the Garden...
