...perhaps SNCC. In may ways, in fact, the two groups form an alliance; their workers are younger and angrier than those in the NAACP and SCLC and they are often impatient with compromises and lengthy court actions. Increasingly CORE and SNCC workers are coming to regard nonviolence as a tactic rather than a philosophy...
Colorado requires local police to file state reports on all drunken drivers. To avoid that technicality, Greenwood's cops allegedly ordered motorists to get out of their cars, then charged them with being "drunk in a public place," a tactic yielding fines of up to $300 without the state's being the wiser. Couples found necking or simply talking in parked cars were also ticketed for being "nude above the waist" or "nude below the waist"-noncrimes that earned speedy payoffs from embarrassed victims...
...Rebuffed, by a 9-to-4 vote in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, an attempt by Committee Chairman J. W. Fulbright of Arkansas to split the $3.38 billion foreign-aid package into separate economic and military bills-a tactic by which he hoped to pare away more easily at the military portion.

Having thus fairly ended the employment relationship, ruled...

Moreover, it was so timed that it nullified the unions' strike power during the company's most vulnerable period. The court sharply disagreed. The company showed no antiunion bias, said Justice Potter Stewart for the unanimous bench. Rather, it legally used the "bargaining lockout" as a corollary of the "bargaining strike." Lockouts may disrupt strike plans, but the right to strike does not include "the right exclusively to determine the timing and duration of all work stoppages...
