...stance, the measure that Johnson sent to Congress has a good chance of enactment. Yet his proposal was only another Band-Aid for another crisis. A strike by 137,000 members of six shop-craft unions has already been delayed three times by Government fiat,* and the wage dispute has been picked over by two separate mediation panels. Johnson's latest formula would deep-freeze the deadlock for another 90 days, while a new five-man mediation board sought a settlement. If there were no voluntary agreement by the end of that period, the outside mediators would dictate terms...

As for the New Left's anger at the human condition, its yearning for love, these will, as always...
...applying its "huge assets and advertising advantages," contended Douglas, P. & G. could dissuade new companies from entering the bleach business, to say nothing of intimidating those already in the industry. As a P. & G. subsidiary, Clorox would be in a perfect financial position to wage price wars against competitors. Since P. & G. could have developed its own bleach, it seemed clear to Douglas that it had bought Clorox instead, "to capture a more commanding share of the market...
