After four years of Union Leader Cesar Chavez's celebrated huelga (strike) by California grape pickers, the growers are anxious for federal regulation of union activity in agriculture. Farm workers have always been excluded from coverage by federal labor-relations law. One reason is that farmers are terrified of strikes at harvest time, which would be ruinous. Another rationale for exclusion has been that agricultural employment is so seasonal and transient that farm .workers were not even covered by minimum wage legislation until...
...will be a "living" memorial, appropriate to Bobby's ideals. She is the staunchest backer of the foundation's plan to raise money for fellowships that will enable promising but underprivileged youths to work alongside leaders of their own causes (a young farm laborer, for example, might work alongside Cesar Chavez, the evangelistic leader of migratory workers in the Southwest).

Edward Kienholz makes an irreverent visual joke out of his Friendly Grey Computer. The instructions read: "If you know your computer well...
...human rights. Affluent inttellectuals can afford to care only about the war and nothing but the war. But I dare them to tell a welfare mother in Roxbury, face to face, that "the worst of times" will be no worse under Nixon. I dare them to say it to Cesar Chavez. I dare them to tell black children in Mississippi that punishing Humphrey is worth the price of letting a Nixon-Agnew-Thurmond administration halt school desegregation. And if the New Politics dropouts can do all that with straight faces, then I can only marvel at their cynicism and callousness...
