...transit workers' strike that crip pled Manhattan last month was clearly illegal. And the Transit Authority's will ingness to end the walkout by agreeing to pay an estimated $60 million in wage boosts and fringe benefits was hardly more correct. New York's tough Condon-Wadlin Act not only forbids strikes by public employees but prohibits pay raises to strikers for three years after they go back to work. Still, most New Yorkers - from Mayor John Lindsay to the harried commuters - were willing to forgive and forget...
...York Times told us that we were in for "a long, hard, more costly and more dangerous war." In a beautifully written and tightly reasoned speech, Oglesby probed the origins of our ills. His analysis, which began by challenging American liberalism with its own promises, seemed disturbingly correct in many particulars.

Even if this were necessarily a bad thing--and again Artery points approvingly to the example of Anthony Lewis of The New York Times to illustrate that it does not have to be--his assumption not be correct. There are at least as many men in this year's Nieman program, as in past, who do on their return to work as there are who are following narrower and deeper course plans...
