As the union drive wore on, their skepticism seemed justified; Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University, relied on an expensive team of Ropes and Grey lawyers to tie up District 65's bid for an organizing election in a maze of legal challenges. Harvard contended that the union could not organize just the Med Area, but rather that Med Area workers would have to seek representation in a bargaining unit that would include all University...

Briefly joining the high jinks onstage were the likes of Yul Brynner, Burgess Meredith, Joel Grey and Geoffrey Holder-who kicked up their heels in an all-male chorus line. When it was over, Ethel, 68, sighed, "Fm on Cloud Nine," and Mary. 63, was still savoring the roars of the audience. "It was like we had hit twelve home runs at Yankee Stadium." Naturally there...
