Cocksure in his position as boss of the nation's biggest, toughest union, President James Riddle Hoffa of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters cared not a nit about the 1958 order handed down by Washington's Federal District Judge F. Dickinson Letts. That order, arising from a suit against Hoffa by 13 rank-and-file Teamsters, placed the racket-ridden, goon-directed union under the supervision of a three-member board of court-appointed monitors. But Hoffa blithely declared that the monitors' recommendations were purely advisory, ignored them completely ("O.K., you've advised me; I reject...

West Coast newspapers are full of Bach alumni; others are aiming the nation's TV and newsreel cameras. In World War II, 146 were combat cameramen, and four died in action. What Harvard's George Lyman Kittredge was to Shakespeare, Fremont High's spry, spectacled Clarence Bach is to news photography...
...packing plants on Chicago's South Side long gave the city a distinctive aroma, inspired poets and reformers. Carl Sandburg hailed Chicago as "Hog Butcher for the World." Novelist Upton Sinclair achieved fame with The Jungle, and it was a major factor in the passage of the nation's pure food laws. Sinclair was so revolted by the packing industry that he wound up the book with a prophecy that some day Chicago's great packing industry would wither away. Last week economics was doing what reformers had failed to accomplish. Armour & Co. announced that it will...
