Union attitudes have stiffened both because the labor market is tight and because of increased militancy on the part of the rank and file.

Her leading character undoubtedly was an adolescent in the '50s who thought that the Tennessee Waltz was George and swooned over Johnnie Ray before the author updated her hangups to the '60s. Nothing mishugah about that: Babyhip has already earned $100,-000 in movie and paperback deals...
