...Bell System in 1947, 1968 and 1971, but acknowledged that automation would dull the cutting edge of his union's major weapon. A member of the executive council of the CIO (later, AFL-CIO) since 1949, Beirne was one of the few labor leaders to support George McGovern's presidential campaign...
...Price Stability, headed by Rush, that will monitor increases and decry those that seem excessive. It has no subpoena, suspension or rollback powers, but these could be added if the council proves ineffective. A surprising number of economists, ranging ideologically from Joseph Pechman, a former adviser to George McGovern, to Milton Friedman, onetime adviser to Barry Goldwater, predict that Ford eventually will feel compelled to revive full wage-price controls, though the President declared at his press conference that "wage-price controls are out, period...

...center anyway, especially if you exclude a few pockets of contrary sentiment, notably the final clubs--it was one of these venerable institutions that, after all, shocked Sarah Roosevelt by rejecting her Franklin. Three years ago, the last time anyone polled them, 80 per cent of Harvard students wanted McGovern to be president. Shirley Chisholm ran second with 8 or 9 per cent, and Nixon, Humphrey, Jackson and Wallace split what was left. Even a lot of the Young Republicans were for Pete McClosky...
