...year raise from 3% to about 7%. That seemed equitable enough, but labor members, still smarting from their first real defeat on the board, were in no mood to take advice. Said U.A.W. Official Pat Greathouse: "Right now we'd like for the Pay Board to keep its mouth shut." The board complied, declining for at least a week to take a formal vote on the compromise plan. However, since the public members' terms of 8.3% apparently had the support of some of the five business members as well, union leaders had a reasonably clear picture of just...
...Zealand dairymen have long wanted to import Limousin and Simenthal cattle from France. But officials, fearing that hoof and mouth disease (which is indigenous to France) might be imported along with the beasts, have steadfastly refused to allow the entry of any French cattle.

They play old breakdowns, sing ballads...
...endear them to the Chamber of Commerce-nor, they were astonished to find, to many of their lifelong friends. They were quietly but firmly pushed out of what they refer to as the "velvet rut." Says Borah: 'If you are born in the right family and keep your mouth shut, you can just ride it on through." But they persevered, haranguing at public meetings, until they finally attracted national attention (the New Orleans papers had conspicuously ignored them). Finally, almost three years later, the young attorneys won what they call "the Second Battle of New Orleans": federal funds...
