Yet Ray Rogers, 35, former VISTA volunteer, is shaking up union-management relations witha devastating new tactic that could well become as much a part of labor's arsenal as the strike or the picket line. An organizer for the Manhattan-based Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers, Rogers is the chief of its "corporate campaign," which uses the union's raw financial and political power.

And mind, this leaves aside discussion of higher levels of creativity that have occasionally been placed in Dracula's service: the stylish camp of the 1977 Broadway production, from which this film has borrowed Frank Langella for the title role, only to tune him down; or the wonderful expressionistic grotesqueries of that marvelous silent, Nosferatu...

The New York Post got a head start with a turgid, unrevealing nine-part series. In the past few months he has been on the covers of Newsweek twice, the New York Times magazine, Look, PEOPLE, the Washingtonian, the Boston Globe magazine. With Jimmy Carter getting the worst press of his presidency, Kennedy's "coquettish noncandidacy," as one writer called it, has become the hottest political story around...
