...convention, Secretary of Labor James Mitchell said that the Administration would have "no alternative" but to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act-and send the strikers back to work for 80 days-if the strike did not end soon.

But you go about your deeds of kindness so ungraciously that you seem more brutal than savages." In the end, the Roman senators grow tired of old Romulus' tricks, and of his sanctimoniousness; they surround him in a fog and hack him to pieces (Duggan discards the legend that Romulus ascended to heaven in a cloud). The novel ends with the gentle Sabine Numa Pompilius taking over the vacant throne...
