...nine months in office, Goldberg has intervened more directly and forcefully than all his predecessors lumped together in the 48 years since labor became a Cabinet post. Using all the Administration's influence and all the experience gained during his years as labor's top lawyer and strategist, Goldberg has personally negotiated and mediated in strikes that have crippled the nation's maritime industry, grounded most of its commercial airplanes and critically delayed its missile-site construction. Again, he has made sure that the curtain will rise next month on the 77th season of New York...
...will and weaponry that will convince the Soviet Union that the U.S. really means business in its determination to defend against aggressions on freedom. Both publicly and privately. President Kennedy avowed U.S. determination. Addressing the Association of the U.S. Army, Assistant Defense Secretary Paul Nitze, a key Pentagon strategist, said flatly that any Communist attempt to cut off Western air access to Berlin would be the "straw that breaks the camel's back." Were this to happen, said Nitze, war would not necessarily be confined to Germany, or even Europe: "We can offset a local preponderance of Communist strength...
...Master Strategist. A master strategist of base running (he perfected the "fallaway" or "hook" slide), Cobb made up for a lack of natural speed with daring, guile and meanness.

A quiet, reflective negotiator, Len Woodcock, though born in Rhode Island, was educated at the British public school of Chipsey ("A poor cousin to Eton," says he), still speaks with a slight English accent, lives in Detroit's fancy suburban Grosse Pointe. Woodcock's demands for 1961: a 26?hourly wage...
...mission is apparently long overdue. In Phoeni, when he sat down recently for dinner with 20 top Phoenicians, the atmosphere, says Mayor Sam Mardian, "was antagonistic." But when the evening was over, the climate was noticeably warmer. Not that everyone was convinced. Says State Republican Chairman Stephen Shadegg, strategist and speechwriter for Senator Barry Goldwater: "I still think that the church should not apply itself to political situations that have merit on both sides." But Mayor Mardian summed up the consensus: "If Miller is head of the N.C.C., it can't be as bad as it's been...
