...picket line Tuesday, Beth Coogan, a shop steward and negotiator for the library workers, echoed the prevailing concerns of her fellow workers. "I know for a fact that I have already been replaced," she said. "The big problem here is that people just don't know the facts." The picket line--normally staffed by no more than five people--runs from 8:30 a.m. until midnight, 99 hours a week. For a while, students had been joining in the lines; now, the newest Vise initiative calls for the stepped up use of library facilities in order to force an early...
With the law looming on one side, the mob moving in on the other, Charley Varrick is the definitive outside man-or, as he bills himself, "the last of the independents." As he has shown previously in Dirty Harry, Coogan's Bluff and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Director Don Siegel likes the peril such a situation can hold, as well as the sort of crusty dignity it can instill.

A superhuman character who has all the answers, is doubly cool, exists on his own without society or the help of society's police forces." Adds Actress Susan Clark, who worked with Eastwood in Coogan's Bluff: "Part of his sex appeal is the constant mystery: How deeply does he feel? How deeply is he involved in life...
...York Giants. For decades the very name was one for opponents in two sports to reckon with, a source of joy (and sometimes sorrow) to New York's football and baseball fans. Who can forget the little miracle of Coogan's Bluff, when Bobby Thomson's ninth-inning home run in the old Polo Grounds beat the hated Dodgers in a 1951 play-off and won for the baseball Giants an impossible pennant? Or the frigid December day in 1934 when the football Giants, playing on a frozen field, switched from spikes to sneakers at halftime...
