When we called Joseph to come down at 6 a.m. his response was shock and dismay: "You mean that people get up for work that early?" Again, he didn't show. For his obvious disinterest in working class struggle, Joseph was appointed labor reporter at The Crimson. To secure his post, Joe was told he would have to abide by Crimson discipline--he couldn't wear...
