...never addresses the ethics of union busting. The replacement players don't agonize for a second about taking jobs from players who earned them. And at the end, Hackman elegizes the scabs: "They had been part of something great." Come on: these guys didn't dig the Panama Canal. They helped rich owners satisfy billion-dollar contracts with TV networks...

And with the 400,000 jobs its Mississippi dams and locks provide, with its $4 billion annual budget, with its history of helping build the Capitol and the Panama Canal, and with the 12,000 miles of channels it now controls across America, the corps, you would think, will get what the corps wants. Politicians have always made sure of that...
