...There's no doubt we have a crisis upon us," declared James Thompson, the new Republican Governor of Illinois. "The President is to be congratulated for facing it." Agreed David Roderick, president of U.S. Steel: "He has laid it all on the line. Our industries, our jobs, our American way of life could be in jeopardy." After listening to Carter's Monday "sky is falling" speech, North Carolina's Democratic Governor James B. Hunt Jr. observed: "If anyone has any doubts of a crisis, they must be blind and deaf.

Former German air force officers have conceded that the Luftwaffe was responsible for Guernica; they have also insisted that the raid was a monumental error, caused by bad visibility and inexperience. The real target, they have claimed, was a tiny, 60-ft. stone-and-steel bridge over the narrow Mundaca River, a funnel for retreating Basque troops. But why incendiaries against a stone bridge?

The details are starkly modern: exposed heating ducts, a huge, free-standing circular stairway. Yet the effect, thanks to Kahn's classical symmetry, is of a stately, updated manor house...
Nelson keeps in touch with friends and fellow radicals, and enjoys the hard earned pleasure of reminiscing about his past actions. His work to unionize the slaughterhouses, steel mills and auto plants preceded the acceptance of the Congress of Industrial Organizations and the United Auto Workers by American workers and industry. Before the went to Spain, Nelson agitated for civil rights and unemployment benefits, issues which Roosevelt could never make fully "respectable." While not ashamed about his membership in the party,* is not the subject which Nelson favors in an open discussion. It is what he did as a Communist...
