Most Harvard labor leaders last fall did not foresee smooth contract talks. A general sentiment that "money doesn't mean anything anymore," as one B&G worker said, and the remnants of longstanding disputes between the unions and the University over issues such as attrition, discrimination, contracting out and job security did not seem to bode well for easy negotiations. Union leaders expressed a willingness to struggle hard after a two-year hiatus, and resentment towards Harvard's attitude--"It's a shame to drain off financial resources unnecessarily to the support services," Powers says--did not promise tranquil bargaining...
...basic charge at the core of the entire disputes, that the company was not permitting its workers to unionize, was completely untrue, company officials said. The officers of Cotrell and Leonard insisted that they had long-since agreed to hold a secret-ballot election that would reveal the true sentiment among employees.

Now Jarvis has written Proposition 9, which would cut state income-tax rates in half, and succeeded in placing it on California ballots for a vote next Tuesday. But this time he seems likely to demonstrate only that anti-tax sentiment has its limits, even in the Golden State. A leading California poll showed last week that voters oppose Proposition...
...this one performance. Mettlesome, high-strung, bursting into a boy's wounded tears or unlaced laughter, Roberts' Mark is a worthy foil. But perhaps the most exciting find of the evening is the directorial debut of Actress Geraldine Fitzgerald. Subtly and surely, she weaves a mantle of sentiment without sentimentality, and provides off-Broadway's Manhattan Theater Club with a luminous seasonal swan song. -T.E.K...
