...Fellow Composers Robert Dennis and Stanley Walden. The group sang and played such instruments as electric piano, organ, bass clarinet and tambourine in a quirky kaleidoscope of their own songs (sample title: 4 a.m. June; The Sky Was Green). The result was a little like spinning a radio dial rapidly over stations that are broadcasting Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson and the Beatles: fascinating but somewhat dizzying.

Everything continued to work so smoothly that the C.W.A. negotiator, calling from New York City's St. Moritz Hotel late one night last week, could dial through quickly to C.W.A. President Joseph A. Beirne in his Washington office. "We've got it here!" the negotiator reported proudly to Beirne. On his telephone for more long-distance calls, Beirne was able without delay to alert 19 other strike teams and tell them that the "pattern" negotiations...
