Dubinsky used the strike sparingly, and under him the I.L.G.W.U. amassed a knippe-Yiddish for nest egg-worth $571 million, invested in everything from union buildings to a 1,000-acre vacation resort for members in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains; the I.L.G.W.U. has even lent the Rockefellers funds for a housing project in Puerto Rico.

Then, in 1962, Mrs. Surowitz received a curious letter from Hilton: the company was offering to buy 300,000 shares...
Harvard has long been a prime target of reactionary politically it has been called a haven for egg-heads, pinkos and idealists. Socially it has become, in some circles, a symbol of the libertine and the degenerate, boasting both sex orgies and drug rings.
