West Highland white terrier imported from Britain about two years ago by the Wishing Well Kennels of Little Falls, N.J. "No dog came near to him," said Judge Heywood R. Hartley, a Richmond, Va., printing company executive...
...itself in 1955. Two years later, he was a prime mover in the expulsion of the Teamsters from the A.F.L.-C.I.O. And in 1959 he was labor's legal strategist during a no-holds-barred Steelworkers' strike that lasted 116 days. When the Government invoked the Taft-Hartley Act to stop the strike for a cooling-off period, Goldberg fought the case to the Supreme Court-where he lost, even though the Justices concurred in public praise of his legal performance. The strike left Goldberg with a suspected gastric ulcer (an exploratory operation found nothing) and the firm...

As the fortnight-old maritime strike began closing down oil refineries in Texas and threatening residents of Puerto Rico and Hawaii with a diet of bananas and pineapples, the President's "fact-finding" board, which he appointed to determine whether the strike menaced the nation's health and safety, spent most of its time trying to revive negotiations between the shipowners and the seamen...

Joe Curran said that a voluntary 60-day return to work would probably be followed by a Taft-Hartley injunction anyhow; that would confront the unions with the chilling prospect of hitting the bricks again around Christmas. At week's end President Kennedy ordered a study to determine whether the strike was doing enough economic damage to warrant a resort to Taft-Hartley. Whatever happened, everyone concerned knew that the issue of foreign flags and the rivalry between two tough union skippers would plague U.S. waterfronts...
