...Neill: "Fear has spread over Ohio. There is use of power to instill fear. I deplore the thought that Ohio citizens should be afraid." Roared Bricker: "If ever there was a clearcut call for non-partisan action, it was for protection of the union rank and file against the abuses of labor racketeers, the embezzlers, the professional goons, the Hoffas and the Becks." So saying, O'Neill and Bricker plumped unequivocally for a hotly debated Ohio right-to-work bill on next month's ballot. Explained a G.O.P. strategist: "We're taking a chance on it helping...

He looked old as he walked toward the cleat-chewed turf, but he shed his years like a mantle and straightened up smartly as the call rang out: "All right, kickers and punters," and the 39 players ended their scrimmage.
