Though it must have realized the implications of the experiment, the Central Board, incredibly enough, never told the three experimental boards precisely what powers they had. Thus, the Ocean Hill-Brownsville district in Brooklyn felt that it was well within its rights in transferring 19 professionals last spring for supposed "sabotage." Union President Albert Shanker, 40, angrily called his teachers out of the area in protest, and the district hobbled along with a handful of nonstriking teachers and bewildered volunteer helpers for the rest of the academic year. The Negro community vowed that none of the 350 strikers would ever...
...Lindsay gives the impression of looking upon organized labor as a Democratic anachronism, arteriosclerotic in an era of social change, anti-integrationist in a city with a large nonwhite minority, complacent and irresponsible.

Enunciated first by Pravda, the official party newspaper, and later by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in a speech at the United Nations, the Soviet Union claims the right to intervene in any Socialist country where the practice and purity of Soviet-style Communism is threatened. Popularly called "the Brezhnev Doctrine," after Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev, the new Soviet policy poses a threat to the sovereignty of any Communist country.
