...imagination, and the strategy worked. The unions were afraid that Johnson would ask Congress for a compulsory arbitration act, as Kennedy did last summer. The railroads feared seizure, for one thing.

After each exposure the film was moved mechanically to array the tiny pages in close-packed rows. This miracle...
