...street corner of Newark and screamed loudly enough was sure to get on the air. "Television seems to have the knack of picking people off the street who were the most volatile and leading them into making the most violent kind of statements," complains Newark Police Director Dominick A. Spina. The stations made no attempt to sort out the various agitators they put on-camera or assess their importance. "They picked on every black face who proclaimed himself a leader," says Donald Malafronte, administrative assistant to Mayor Addonizio. "Casuals who had never raised a voice in community affairs...

Kuchel, proposed a bill that would allow the Government to seek through the courts authority to keep struck industries operating in order "to protect the public health and safety...

Michigan's Pat McNamara, the bill's floor manager, argued that O.E.O.
