The look was liberating for some; for others, it resembled the prize exhibit in a dry cleaners' museum of horrors.

In a brief, impassioned plea, Healy urged the membership to ratify the agreement, though it meant his own dismissal. The pressmen had been especially reluctant to sign because their contract, unlike those of the other unions, contains a "uniformity clause" that could allow concessions granted to the Bulletin to be extended to Philadelphia's Inquirer and Daily News...
