...Friedlander, 34, was researching the archives of the German Foreign Office for his doctoral thesis on Hitler and the United States when he came across a misfiled memorandum on German relations with the Vatican.

But the directors have made little effort to gain the sympathy of the masses. "When we have to read about what Freedom National is doing in the papers or hear...
...Frank Raftery, 47, who had only recently succeeded to the post that became a family fiefdom during his father's twelve-year tenure, ordered top-level hearings on charges that Wilson was "bringing discredit" on the union. When 300 of Wilson's men showed up carrying protest placards (sample: "Get your hands off our throat"), the hearings petered out. Anything but subdued, the San Francisco firebrand planned to run for international vice president...
