...personal "extras" are a problem because they embarrass us. To themselves, they're just going about their daily routine, but to us they represent opportunities missed, projects abandoned and friendships unstruck. They are the could-have-beens of our college careers. Maybe someday one of them will discover a cure for some disease, and then people will say to us, "Laundry-Basket Boy just rid the world of multiple sclerosis. Weren't you in college together?"

Normally, the utilities in those states use 3 million tons of coal a week during the winter. Lately they have been receiving a weekly average of 300,000 tons from unstruck mines...

The strike itself is a more complex matter. The dispute over a wage increase, though complicated...
Behind the customary bread-and-butter issues lay disputes so stubborn that the siege in the two cities seemed unlikely to lift soon. In Detroit, the unions were crying "lockout" at the unstruck but silent News. In Minneapolis, the mailers' union held fast to their right, under challenge by the publishers, to tie newspapers into bundles before loading onto trucks...
