Cheers for your intelligent presentation of the Wolf Ladejinsky story. No good citizen would deny the need for searching and ironclad security arrangements.

Unless all the pundits I have read so far were dead wrong, Ladejinsky-and MacArthur-in the land reform program in Japan were on the right track.

There will always be the opportunity to reclaim the revenue if citizens decide that coastal oil should be improving American education rather than lubricating Southern political machines...
...history, ordered an election to determine if the workers still want the union shop provided in the contract. A month after the contract was made a year ago, a group of employees petitioned for an election to abrogate the union shop. Both union and management, believing the contract ironclad, contended that such an election could not be legally held. But in a 3-to-2 decision, the NLRB held that the machinery of the Taft-Hartley Act makes it possible for employees to escape from compulsory union membership whenever a majority wish...
