And when B.U. clerical workers began to unionize in the late 1970s, administrators hired outside people to assist in the anti-union effort.

...year struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. At center stage stood the leaders of the world's two most powerful nations, smiling warmly, shaking hands, exchanging pens, trading one-liners. The Soviet visitor even burst into song at one point. When it was all over, Gorbachev called the three-day Washington summit a "major event in world politics," while Reagan grandiloquently declared that the meeting had "lit the sky with hope for all people of goodwill...
