Early this week United Auto Workers President Douglas Fraser leads a phalanx of union representatives into the orange-carpeted fifth-floor conference room at General Motors headquarters in Detroit to open triennial contract negotiations with the Big Three automakers. The outcome of the most important labor negotiation of the year will significantly affect inflation and wage rates in other industries. Much will depend on Fraser, who is making his debut as chief negotiator for the 1.5-million-member union that he has headed since 1977.

Last week, as the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship held its eleventh triennial Missionary Convention, a record 16,000 vacationing collegians flocked to the frozen University of Illinois campus to investigate foreign mission careers. Inter-Varsity, an Evangelical group that began in England and now has chapters on 600 U.S. campuses, had to turn away thousands of others because the university's domed Assembly Hall could hold...
