Social Goals. Fraser, too, is an emblem of that unity. Like Woodcock, he is a man in the mold of Walter Reuther, the visionary U.A.W. president who was killed in an air crash seven years ago. Once a metal finisher in a De Soto plant, Fraser became a boy-wonder local president and was Reuther's administrative assistant for most of the 1950s. As a union vice president in 1970, he seemed a likely choice to inherit "the Redhead's" post, but lost out when the union's executive board recommended Woodcock by one vote. More gregarious...
...bassist Boz Burrell with sax and flute icing by Mel Collins. Together they produce yet another collection of tight riffs--some might call them predictable--with a steady bass company and a highly-amplified guitar sound, usually controlled just short of distortion. They are not virtuosos in the mold of Cream members with their constant technical competition. Their compositions are hardly artistic innovations, either, with lyrical themes which don't stray far from the classic rock and roll love-them-and-leave-them (and occasionally be left by them) basics.

The second paragraph begins with the "quote:" "What we're doing is organizing the working classes, women and others, directly affected by the worst aspects of capitalism to get together and question the mold society has put them into." The Haymarket staff is not organizing any constituency, nor would presume to. Haymarket serves as a resource to grassroots community organizations which are doing organizing work for the purpose of empowering their membership and working people in their struggle for control over their own lives...
...without trial under the repressive state of emergency; last week, as he became the fourth Prime Minister of India, he promised to restore civil liberties, adhere to the principles of local development idealized by Mahatma Gandhi and maintain a scrupulously nonaligned foreign policy. A lifelong politician in the Gandhian mold, Desai is as eccentric as he is ascetic, and he leads a fractious coalition party that could fall apart under the slightest stress Nonetheless, whatever troubles ahead for India, his party's startling tory was a momentous event for democracy everywhere in the world...
