...labor-management relations." On the whole, George Meany and his colleagues grimly had to agree that Mitchell's program was the best possible cure. Faced with the fact that labor has lost a lot of friends, he could see, too, that the temper of Congress was even hotter than Mitchell's.

Chances are that the oilmen and conservationists will work out a compromise because there is believed to be just too much oil in Kenai to let it lie there.

Discussions often run over into the exercise room or into the sauna (Finnish bath), where Philosopher Adler last week led a lively argument on justice and charity in 175° heat. Only occasionally do discussions get hotter: one chairman of a large corporation threatened to pull his money out of a bank represented by a glib young vice president who differed with him in a discussion of the profit motive...
