...company runs a reactionary bourgeois ideology with the intention of keeping workers quiet while exploiting them," Ryan said. "The company wants to get rid of the [seniority] system, so they can play one worker against another. The more you ass lick, the better...
...Congress next week, and pledged full support to Oregon's Al Ullman, the new Ways and Means chairman. Most of Mills' committee colleagues welcomed his return. "He's still the most knowledgeable tax man on the committee," said Illinois Democrat Daniel Rostenkowski. "If he can really lick this thing, he can be one of the most effective members of the committee. It'll be like Socrates having the students sitting at his feet while he passes out tips on taxes."

Joking, cajoling, bullying, mediating, Party Chairman Robert S. Strauss, 56, was clearly the impresario at Kansas City, a Texas-style wheeler-dealer of the old school who knew how to get things together.

Americans were treated last week to a rare brand of presidential counsel - an oldfashioned, almost motherly rendering of helpful hints on how to lick high prices. Ford requested - and got - prime-time tri-network coverage of his speech to the Future Farmers of America in Kansas City, Mo. It was a rather inflated forum, given the caliber of the message. "Bring budgeting back in style," he said. "Brag about the fact that you are a bargain hunter . . . save as much as you can and watch your mon ey grow...
