Bush's tactic is to "kick sand in the public's eye," as a New York Times staff editorial charged. It is a simple ploy to gain more votes, not the beginning of a program to help women protect their right to an abortion...
Management refused the ploy. It simply hired scabs and plodded on. Unable to control them, the international union eventually abandoned the strikers. Most of them lost their jobs, and some -- weeping -- turned scab. The movie has much to say about the limits of hyped confrontation as a means of settling issues.

He also looks west, striving for a base that will keep him in the contest until the final primaries in June. When Kerrey...
