...contributions to the medical insurance plan would climb $12 a month per family, to $84; the percentage rise exceeds the guidelines, but the amount of money involved is small-less than workers had demanded. Union members were expected to approve the settlement, and it will probably serve as a model for the 98 other firms involved in the industrywide bargaining...
...Times columnist (now syndicated to 500 papers) who was hired to offset the Times's Liberal tilt in pundits. At the Times, his appointment was unpopular.

One of its most activist decisions remains Roe vs. Wade (1973), which found in the Constitution an implicit right for women to have abortions. Although equal protection has of late been invoked less in the cause of the poor and the black, it has been extended to just about everyone else, including aliens, bastards and even...
