Died. Benjamin Franklin Fairless, 71, fast-moving boss of giant U.S. Steel for nearly 20 years, who substituted a candid personal charm for the rough flamboyance of an earlier generation of steelmakers; of pleurisy complicated by uremia; in Ligonier, Pa. Born the son of an immigrant Welsh coal miner, he got his first taste of capitalism as a newsboy, worked his way to an engineering degree, climbed rapidly with common-sense solutions to production problems and a knack for mediating high-level disputes. As president of U.S. Steel from 1938 to 1953 and board chairman from...

Example: "longterm recall" is something vital that admen ascribe to viewers who remember a given show for more than, say, ten minutes. But Miner's outstanding contribution was one of those sponsor-interference anecdotes that spring from...
...quote a poignant phrase from Ghandi and then sing We Shall Overcome, which has become closely connected with the integration sit-in movement. Or he will read a poem of Frost about human dignity and play Banks of Marble, which wonders about social injustice: "I have seen the weary miner scrubbing coal-dust from his back, I have heard his children crying 'got no coal to heat our shacks.'" This is the heart of Seeger's politics, not views on the Republican Party or the Democratic Party--or the Communist Party either, for that matter...
