Hoffa's pros may soon have a bit more work than they can handle. Last week, Jimmy's Teamster empire had revolts brewing in a number of provinces: >In St. Louis, drivers at one of the city's largest cab companies have voted 100 to 97 to leave Teamster Local 405 and join an independent union. The NLRB has not certified the result because of a challenge to six ballots, but rebel leaders are confident that the vote will stand. > In Chicago, where cab drivers and mechanics recently voted out a Hoffa pal, Hoodlum Joey Glimco...

At that time, the result was a hair-trigger revolt by a few army and air force officers, pleas from across the nation for his return, and Quadros' final surrender to the popular will-after the parties released him from all commitments. The timing and execution of last week's resignation showed similar calculated recklessness. There were a few riotous demonstrations, including the stoning of the U.S. embassy in Rio* by 200 students. Foreign Minister...
