...done to ease labor's dif ficulties, to prevent such affronts to the public interest as the strike being conducted by Powers and his Big Six? To some, the answer lies in increased Government intervention. The Kennedy Administration tried that during the regime of Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg, a veteran labor lawyer and an artist at mediation. Bustling about the nation, Goldberg helped settle several strikes, including even the one at the Metropolitan Opera. But Goldberg failed in the last dispute he tried to mediate, and there is some speculation that the whole roof was about to cave...
...present Labor Secretary, Willard Wirtz, has shown little inclination to follow Goldberg's example. And there is good cause for believing that Government intervention, over the long haul, can do more harm than good. Explains George P. Shultz, dean of the University of Chicago's Business School: "The Government should be a reluctant intervener, not a delighted intervener. Sometimes, before a strike even happens, the Administration speculates on just what a reasonable settlement might be. Now if I'm a bargainer and I hear this kind of talk, that takes the wraps off me. I know there...
Soviet Psychiatrist Isaac Goldberg could well understand his colleagues' doubts, but he insisted that he really did have an epileptic patient who could read ordinary print with her fingertips. To prove it, he had Rosa Kuleshova, 22, admitted to the Sverdlov Clinic for Nervous Disorders. There before a skeptical audience, Dr. Goldberg blindfolded Rosa and had the blindfold checked. Then Rosa opened a book at random, passed the fingertips of her right hand lightly over the page, and fluently read the text aloud. She did the same with a newspaper. Handed a snapshot, Rosa stroked the surface and said...
Several members of Rosa's family, in the Urals town of Nizhni Tagil (pop. 338,000) were blind, Dr. Goldberg explained. Rosa herself learned to read Braille as well as the printed word, and made no sharp distinction in her mind between the two kinds of reading. Her senses of touch and sight had become practically interchangeable. Had Rosa developed her Braille touch so highly that she could feel the shapes of characters in letterpress printing? With a sheet of glass over a printed page, Rosa could no longer read fine print, but she could still make out headline...
Hofmokel has remedied that lack by setting up a Rube Goldberg process that begins when tankers from Tampico sail into Brownsville loaded with residual crude consigned to the Mexican national oil monopoly in the city of Matamoros just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville. Unloaded under U.S. customs supervision into bonded tanks, the oil is transferred into tank trucks, which immediately set off on the eight-mile run to the Gateway Bridge between Brownsville and Matamoros. Once they reach Matamoros, the trucks make a wide U-turn and swing back onto the bridge, where U.S. customs officers now accept their...
