...Cover: Grease pencil and watercolor by Edward Sorel. Caricaturist Sorel's first cover for TIME on the leading candidate for mayor of New York City gives him one more opportunity to indulge a favorite pastime: "Making faces at some sacred cows."

Incensed at such tactics, black leaders broke off negotiations. U.S. Labor Secretary George Shultz, responding to an appeal from Mayor Joseph Barr "to resolve the explosive situation," rushed a three-man mediating team to the tense city...
