Ten years ago, factory ships sent to sea by Norwegian owners processed 905,000 barrels of oil from 31,000 whales in one season. Last year...
...think the class struggle is dead, read Barron's Business Weekly. "National Labor Relations Board Must Go," muses their September 23 front page. Not by chance did the same article appear in the Wall Street Journal, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Charlotte Observor, the Houston Chronicle, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Reader's Digest...
