...that single fact, there is remarkable agreement. It was recently expressed by Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz, who told the National Academy of Arbitrators that "if collective bargaining can't produce peaceful settlements of these controversies, the public will." It was put another way by Labor Pundit Paul Jacobs, a long-time union representative, who is now at the University of California's Institute of Industrial Relations. Said Jacobs: "The community at large became disenchanted with Big Labor right after the war. It was disenchanted at the time of the McClellan hearings. And it is disenchanted now. But what...
...11th and 14th centuries, Britain's noblemen are two-a-penny come-latelies. Throughout the nation's history, Kings and, later, Prime Ministers have freely handed out titles to deserving-and undeserving-comers. George I even made "petticoat peeresses" of his mistresses in order, as one peerage pundit noted, "to reward their merits in their respective departments and encourage the surrender of prudery in younger and handsomer subjects." In a preface to the new edition, Sir Anthony Wagner, who as Garter King of Arms is Britain's top working genealogist, concludes that, by Continental standards, the nobility...
...this "peaceful, humdrum, hell-free, deChristianized life," as Culture Pundit Sir Kenneth Clark describes it, many Britons feel merely fretful and frustrated. In the euphoric '50s, a new crop of playwrights and novelists, mostly from the grubby lower reaches of provincial life, hammered furiously at the deadening smugness of their society. It was a time when many of their countrymen were groping for a new sense of purpose and national identity. "Nobody thinks, nobody cares," cried Jimmy Porter, the non-hero of John Osborne's Look Back in Anger. "There aren't any good, brave causes left...
...official U.S. rebuttal was some back talk in Moscow itself. One restrained critic was Canon Lewis John Collins of London's St. Paul's Cathedral, a leading British unilateral disarmer who was accompanied on the trip from London by such other ban-the-bombers as anti-American Pundit Kingsley Martin, ex-editor of the New Statesman and Nation, and Physicist John D. Bernal, a Lenin Peace Prize winner. Collins received a hostile reception when he coupled criticism for the "wickedness" of U.S. nuclear tests with Moscow's "grave error" in becoming the first nation to resume tests...
...plugging policies that were anathema to the Socialists only a few years ago. Proclaimed West Berlin's Socialist Mayor Willy Brandt in his Cologne speech: "We say that the Federal Republic must cultivate and develop the relationship of trust with the United States." From SPD Economic Pundit Heinrich Deist there was no kind word for nationalization of industry; instead, he urged free competition, mildly suggested that capitalism be improved by better anti-cartel legislation and restriction of lobbyists...
