Probably hoping that Bickett himself will recommend a reduction in the sentences, Governor Robert Scott has yet to act on a plea for executive clemency. A biracial group called the "Committee for Equal Justice" is circulating petitions on behalf of the imprisoned youths...

The Labor Department calculates that wage-and-benefit settlements in this year's first quarter provided a 5.9% median yearly in crease. But a number of contracts signed in the last few weeks have increases equal to or greater than the Teamsters' 28%.

Yet the book's main characters, Reston and Daniel, are not hero and villain but nearly equal protagonists. Daniel is shown as a careerist who cultivates worldly graces and helpful grandees.
