...both in Washington and the field, was to embarrass the A.F.L.-C.I.O., which kicked Hoffa out a year and a half ago. Meany is on record in favor of the Kennedy bill's restrictions against Hoffa's hoodlum unionism, but at the same time he opposes the minor "Bill of Rights" amendments, which would also curb activities of unions in general. Result: if he continues to support the bill, some of his A.F.L.-C.I.O. supporters may rebel, thus clearing the driveway for Hoffa's onslaught against A.F.L. power; but if he fights the bill, he will...

This is fair neither to the undergraduate nor to the many alumni who have recently given several millions to the athletic program...
...Reinhardt plays Puntila with considerable authority (he can actually look like a dying deer while somebody is telling him not to); Anne Meara as his daughter has a high-spirited charm that shines out of everything she does. But even they have strained and labored moments, and certain minor cast members have no moments of any other kind. John Lasell plays the hired man with an ironic impassivity that makes a welcome contrast to all the posturing and shouting going on around...
