...union bosses and tell them what we think of the strike. But we can't. We're afraid we'd get our husbands into trouble with the union." A veteran Draper, Utah miner calls it the "most senseless strike in the world. It's a tug of war for power. And what are they gaining? Nothing." Not surprisingly, when the Salt Lake Tribune polled 696 copper workers on their feelings, 70% favored returning to work while negotiations continued...
...long ago when the masters initiated parietals and when Mrs. Bunting allowed Radcliffe girls to sign out overnight.

In this production, the two principals are a worthy match for each other: Maria Tucci and Morris Carnovsky. Carnovsky is of course a known quantity. But I had never been especially struck by Miss Tucci's endeavors. Her Antigone, however, is miles above anything she has done before; it is in fact...
