...Ronald Reagan calls the strike and boycott "immoral" and "attempted blackmail." Senator George Murphy, like Reagan an old Hollywood union man-turned-conservative, terms the movement "dishonest." The Nixon Administration has seemed ambivalent, putting forward legislation that would ostensibly give farm workers organization rights but would also limit their use of strikes and boycotts. The Pentagon has substantially increased its grape orders for mess-hall tables, a move that Chavez and his followers countered last week by preparing a lawsuit to prevent such purchases on the ground that grapes are the subject of a labor dispute.

...force continues to be indifferent to unionism. Wages have been rising even in the absence of contracts, and few farm workers can afford to go unpaid for long. Although federal regulations theoretically prohibit the hiring of aliens, or "green-carders," as strike breakers, the owners have nevertheless continued to use imported workers of Mexican citizenship...
Meeting that challenge will take more creativity and boldness than we have used. We should create opportunities for home ownership for low-income families, who can build up equity in apartments they occupy as purchasers rather than as tenants.

We should shift our thinking about management responsibilities to provide for cooperative management or even ownership of publicly-subsidized housing by tenants. We should be wiling to test new methods of producing techniques, scattered-site development, the "turnkey" method of housing built more quickly...

MIT has already begun that process, although many details of the proposal that has been announced must be clarified before the City can evaluate it and help to implement it. We hope, and expect that Harvard will reveal soon how it intends to participate...
...which has received considerable national attention and has already been adopted by a number of localities. This code, rather than limiting construction to a select few methods, sets up minimum standards of strength, durability and safety. Then any system of building which meets those standards can be accepted for use in the city. It is an inclusive rather than exclusive code. It is my feeling that we must be inclusive in an effort to explore every avenue that will drive down the cost of housing or expand the safe possible alternatives for increasing our housing stock...
