...Hoffman. "We're not talking about cruel management or an exploited working class," he retorts. "We're talking about a bunch of criminals who slash tires and smash presses and hit women over the head with two-by-fours. I have no lint left in my navel for that." Graham makes the same point more moderately: "We are not union busting. That means an unwillingness to bargain, which just isn't the case here. They [the pressmen] wouldn't negotiate. They busted themselves...
...both the American Medical Association and the American Red Cross. Standing in back of the victim, the rescuer reaches both arms around him, makes a fist and grasps it with the other hand. Then, placing the thumb side of that fist against the victim's abdomen above the navel but below the rib cage, the rescuer presses his fist sharply upward.

By the end the dentist's office radio stations were playing JT. Anyway, what...
...older boys) she appears to be a sex sym: bol, impure and simple as her long, sinuous body-high fashion, but with some meat on her smoothly articulated bones -slithers into closeup, her navel twinkling as invitingly as her sequins. Then, however, a shy smile splits her deadpan. As she speaks a few words of earnest greeting in her curiously flat voice, Pop and the other males see they can afford to relax. Underneath all that finery and a ceramic of makeup there is a rather awkward, imperfectly beautiful girl. She appears no more daunting than the nice...
