Bloodied but unbudged, Bailey and a small cohort refuse to acknowledge that the strike is over. He harasses the Guildsmen, intimidates management and dreams of emptying a truck full of link outside the newspaper's offices. Dreams are in fact what Bailey is largely about: "A man could act on dreams as he acted upon thought. A man could act upon delusions as he acted upon dreams. They would have only a private validity. No one would be able to accept them; but neither could anyone negate them...
Jeans manufacturers are battling back by the time-honored commercial expedient of working both sides of that same street. Thirty percent of Lee's line is now fashion jeans, which feature snappy colors and snazzy fabrics. Levi's, keeping its "older cohort" in mind, will turn out stuff specifically for them: not, as might be expected, denim editions of Roman soldier gear, but a line of shirts, sweaters and slacks designed by Perry Ellis.

Calkins also credits him with being able to tell people point-blank that they aren't offering enough money...
...experience an individual's generation goes through. For many people my age and younger, Viet Nam, the assassinations, Watergate...have been very powerful." He has a point: Mondale, 56, is a young member of the New Deal generation, while Hart, 47, is an old man in his 1960s cohort. Youngish voters clearly see Hart on their side of the epochal line. Charles Reed, 42, an aide to Florida Governor Robert Graham, was a bit cautious about Hart but not about the political winds he is riding. "We still don't know everything about Hart," Reed said...
