Taking a Marxist-Leninist line borrowed from the Progressive Labor Party, the Worker-Student Alliance insists that students subordinate themselves to workers as the vanguard of the revolution. Though W.S.A. thinks that Negro laborers will ultimately lead the movement, it hedges on the primacy of black workers at the start. As a result, the other factions label W.S.A. racist. In turn, W.S.A. criticizes the rest of S.D.S. for looking down on workers and existing labor organizations...
...wasn't always by accident. Her first film was a microscopic nightmare, Fantastic Voyage (her best line, to a leering Stephen Boyd: "I run the laser beam here. That should tell you where to keep your hands"). After that, Fox lent her to Britain's Hammer Film Productions for its reprise of One Million Years B.C.

Died. Lee Pressman, 63, the C.I.O.'s legal counsel from 1936 until 1948, when his far-left politics finally cost him his job and career; of cancer; in Mt. Vernon, N.Y.

Last week he followed up by inviting 3,000 corporate leaders to the cavernous ballroom of Washington's Sheraton-Park Hotel; 1,800 came for an anti-inflation "briefing" reminiscent of a college pep rally on the eve of the big Thanksgiving football game...
...enemy of the poor. It may be their friend in employment terms." Some Government figures buttress the argument. For example, 800,000 of the 5,800,000 U.S. families that were officially defined as poor in 1966 had increased their incomes enough to rise above the poverty line last year. Their gains were achieved even though inflation had meanwhile pushed the poverty line up from $3,317 in annual family income in 1966 to $3,553 last year...
