...Through four stormy decades, he was absolute sovereign of the men who worked the mines. To them he was a savior. His demagogic, often ruthless tactics alienated other Americans from Presidents on down. He gloried in playing the heavy in the drama of labor's awakening. When his sonorous voice boomed "Strike!", the nation's cartoonists went to work etching his famous eyebrows to give him a demonic visage. "I have pleaded your case," he told his miners, "not in the quavering tones of a feeble mendicant asking alms, but in the thundering voice of the captain...

This threat was too much even for Dr. William McCord, president of Medical College Complex and a firm opponent of union recognition...
...world summit meeting of Communist parties was a daily grind. Whisked from their hotels and guest villas in black Chaikas and Volgas whose windshields bore special green-and-white passes, the Communist leaders-some 300 from 75 parties-were deposited at the Kremlin before 10 a.m. each morning. After four hours of eloquence, the delegates had a two-hour break. Most of them dined on caviar and cold cuts in the first-floor dining room of the Great Kremlin Palace. In a pointed show of conviviality, Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev, Premier Aleksei Kosygin and other Russian leaders pulled...
