...unions now put out more than 1,000 publications, ranging from slick magazines to mimeographed monthlies, which reach 20 million readers as fringe benefits bought with union dues. The better papers-the Machinist, the Hat Worker, Electrical Union World, the autoworkers' UAW Solidarity, the ladies' garment workers' Justice, the clothing workers' Advance-carry lengthy analyses of legislation before Congress and think pieces on such top ics as automation and narcotics. They are almost all unabashedly Democratic in their politics, and they tend to embark simultaneously on the same liberal campaigns: to abolish right-to-work laws...

His statement of assets: 1961 Chevrolet, $1,000; home in Fond du Lac, $7,200 (minus a $6,000 mortgage); cash, $500.

Many have names that carry family echoes of one kind or another; in addition to Bobby Kennedy joining his brother Ted, they ranged from Maryland's Democratic Senator Joe Tydings, stepson of the late Millard Tydings, to California's Representative John Tunney...
...here that Carlson chose to make his life. Born in Culver City, Calif., the son of a Swedish-immigrant machinist, he had been raised in an atmosphere of religion: the Evangelical Covenant Church of America, an offshoot of Lutheranism. Two years of service as a seaman in the U.S. Navy (1946-48) provided him with the G.I. bill and eventually his medical degree. At North Park College in Chicago he dated blonde, pert Lois Lindblom, whom he married in 1950. Then came Stanford and a degree in anthropology, followed by George Washington University med school. Lois worked as a nurse...
