...when a verdict is directed by a judge, what to do about a dissenting juror like Boston's Claude Solana? His totally unexpected protest tempted Judge Lurie to hold him in contempt of court. But as Thomas Lambert of the American Trial Lawyers Association notes, "the glory of the jury is its beautiful lawlessness." It represents "the yeasty independence of the average man over officialdom." Perhaps mindful of such thoughts, Judge Lurie decided to give Solana the benefit of his doubt. He declared a mistrial and will start all over again with a new jury...
There is every indication that the situation is growing progressively worse. The 142 work stoppages called by public employees in 1966 exceeded the total for the four previous years combined; informed estimates of the 1967 figure place it at upwards of 250. Dr. Sam M. Lambert, executive secretary of the National Education Association, which represents one million teachers and administrators, has predicted 250 strikes by teachers alone next year. Says Pennsylvania University Industry Professor George W. Taylor, principal source of New York State's public-employee labor law: "It's going to be a mess for generations...
...book's central conceit is its omniscient narrator, a fortyish hipster-nihilist who attempts to goad the characters into shucking their illusions by confronting them with their impotent squeals.

More recently, there was Gillette's ex-President Stuart Hensley, who had been a contented company man for more than two decades until this year, when Boyden 1) sold Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Co. on Hensley's presidential potential, and 2) sold Hensley on Warner-Lambert with the argument that the fast-growing merchandiser (ethical drugs, Listerine, Rolaids, etc.) offered "a more challenging situation" than Gillette...
...Smear." "Senator Long has misused his investigating subcommittee-first, as an instrument for trying to keep Jimmy Hoffa out of prison; subsequently, after Hoffa went in, to get him out," wrote LIFE'S William Lambert. He catalogued Long's friendships with Missouri Teamsters, his excessively fervent praise for Hoffa at a Miami Beach Teamster convention last year, his subcommittee's apparent fascination with whether federal agents had illegally bugged telephone conversations between Hoffa and one of his lawyers-a charge that, if proven by the committee, might possibly have freed Hoffa...
