Uptight Management. Last week's eruptions were only replays, with minor variations, of earlier confrontations at meetings of American Telephone & Telegraph, United Aircraft, Alcoa, General Electric and Columbia Broadcasting System.

Between 59th and 74th streets, New York City's Madison Avenue has a daytime squad of 15 private police hired by the area's merchants...
...major copper producers, all U.S. firms. Two of the three candidates in the current presidential campaign call for nationalizing the copper companies completely.
