...couple of Gov. courses, including one on legal theory (Gov. 108) by Mrs. Shklar. Those who studied Czarist Russia previously might find History 156, in Harvard 4, of some interest. Professor Billington discusses the modern period when czars aren't czars but commissars, and a serf is a privileged proletarian...
...motorists. But even as the author writes, the end is in sight. A general strike is called by a fusion party of disgruntled old men, trade unionists dimly aware that their class has been milked of all intelligence capable of leadership, and upper-class women amorously alive to the proletarian athletes' big muscles.

There, last week, gathered two dozen members of the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s Executive Council, finding time between business sessions for golf, gin rummy and fishing in the resort's three-mile-long lake. But for all the resort pleasures, the labor leaders wore solemn faces. They had come to discuss the state of U.S. organized labor as Labor Day 1958 approached-and there...
