Unions are now aggressively going after office workers. The OPEIU is mounting a major drive to organize 3,100 engineers, computer programmers and draftsmen at Lockheed's huge Marietta, Ga., aircraft plant; it is also lining up 5,000 employees nationwide at Government Employees Insurance Co. The 1.2 million-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) is the most aggressive recruiter in the AFL-CIO. One of AFSCME'S newest targets: engineers and programmers in Boston's booming high-technology firms. Meanwhile, the Teamsters won an election last October to represent 2,000 members...
...developed and nurtured a reputation for innovation, reliability and plain downright engineering excellence that is unmatched in the industry. Indeed, in an age when much of American business seems to have slipped into a search for quick profits and is marked by shoddy workmanship, the 104,000 engineers, designers, draftsmen, machinists, executives and salesmen of Boeing stand out as proof that, over the long haul, the only lasting standard of value in any market is quality itself. Said Air Force Secretary Hans Mark of the Pentagon's decision to award the cruise contract to Boeing: "Both contractors turned...
Says a union leader: "T will sit down and tell you a few raunchy jokes." But Wilson does not sentimentalize his associates as part of the Boeing "family"; he regards them as a group of competent engineers and draftsmen united for a common cause.

...titles, which sound like surrealist whimsy- Mysterious bird of Ulieta, or, in a sardonic little pun, Steller 's albatross- were birds' names picked from an ornithological textbook. The paintings court vulgarity every inch of the way. Their forms, based on the French curves used by architectural draftsmen, are cut from honeycombed aluminum. But they are loaded with color, blaring with the kind of greedy, apoplectic vitality. On first sight, they look as though a squad of glue-snorting graffitists had been let loose with crayons, spray cans and party glitter in a constructivist warehouse. Surfaces that Stella would...
...Kooning's reluctance to define a form or fully articulate a set of shapes does tell against his paintings. The swift, hooking line of his earlier work - that consummate rendition of energy by one of the master draftsmen ever to live in the U.S. - has softened to a re markable degree. One feels the removal of de Kooning's cubist under props, and it is a loss; the surface that remains is too gooey to sustain the flailing energies of brushwork and brusque disjunctures of color that de Kooning loads on it. Time and again, one is brought...
