...deal sets a bad precedent for the important negotiations coming up in the rubber industry (where contracts expire this week), construction and autos. Having given a kind of official imprimatur to the Teamsters settlement, Ford-and Usery, who will be involved in all the negotiations-cannot convincingly argue that any other union should accept a smaller one. Instead, the message of the Teamsters settlement is just the reverse: the Administration does not want any long strikes disrupting the recovery in an election year and is prepared to countenance-or maybe even lean on employers to accept-wage and benefit boosts...

The Dutch Catechism, a product of liberal Roman Catholicism with the imprimatur of Holland's Primate, says that "the very sharp strictures of Scripture must be read in their context" as a denunciation of a fashion that was spreading to many who were "quite capable of normal sexual sentiments."
