...Odom, were recovering from an impromptu locker-room brawl. Star Slugger Reggie Jackson (TIME cover, June 3) was playing on probation, having been warned by Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for threatening a reporter. Pitcher Jim ("Catfish") Hunter was embroiled in a public contract dispute with Svengalian Owner Charles O. Finley, who was overruling Manager Alvin Dark by ordering last-minute lineup changes. So who destroyed the opposition four games to one with crisp, aggressive play? Of course...
...broadly interdisciplinary. Means of expanding one's horizons beyond required readings, such as the formerly frequent conversations with faculty in House dining halls, have obviously declined in influence. Thus it has become more and more possible for a student to graduate from Harvard not only without having heard John Finley, but even without having any meaningful concept of just what the name Plato--not to mention C. P. Snow with his warning against over-specialization--really stands...
...Bruce Reed has a thin, wasted face and the appearance of a man twice his age. A welfare recipient, he spends his days wandering down Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, Calif., with a bottle of cheap wine or a marijuana cigarette in his hand. Tom Finley, 21, also a Telegraph Avenue regular, earns a scant $40 a month, mostly by selling his blood. Annie Peters, 17, lives off the refuse in Berkeley garbage cans and occasionally peddles dope. Though their names have been changed, their stories are very real and typify the plight of what two social scientists at the University...
...increase of $1.10 an hour, or a startling 30%, over three years-50? the first year, and 30? for each of the next two. On top of that, the Amalgamated demands an escalator clause that would raise wages further as the cost of living increases. Union President Murray H. Finley has not yet produced a precise formula, but he rejects a management proposal that seems less than serious. It calls for paying a kind of inflation dividend in the third year of a new contract -but only if prices climb by more than a phenomenal 20% over the first...
...union's tough new stand is partly due to President Finley, elected in 1972 to succeed Jacob Potofsky, who headed the Amalgamated for almost 30 years and built a record of statesmanlike conciliation. Finley needs to make a strong showing in his first major negotiation. But on a deeper level, the strike points up a cruel dilemma that is likely to roil labor-management bargaining increasingly: workers' pay has indeed fallen behind the pace of price rises, and they can make a strong case for large increases-but those increases add to the inflationary pressure...
