...Legal Communists. Assuming that he can round up those vital 13 votes, Ecevit will initially devote most of his energies to domestic matters. His first priorities, he said, would be restoring law-and-order and patching up the ailing economy.

The University doggedly opposed District 65 every step of the way for two and a half years, and mustered every ounce of the formidable legal talent at its disposal to stave off the union in the halls of the NLRB. Despite Harvard's recalcitrance, despite the reluctance of regional director Robert Fuchs to hear the case, despite Fuchs's original ruling against the union, and despite the lengthy delay in the case's resolution by the Washington NLRB...
