...learned in labor's own school of hard knocks. She handed out leaflets at the gates of industrial plants and once got roughed up on a picket line. David Dubinsky hired her as an organizer for his A.F.L. garment workers, and Sidney Hillman hired her away to write for his C.I.O. clothing workers' Advance...

He can speak seven languages (English, Polish, Hebrew, German, Yiddish, Arabic and Russian), but he can neither read nor write English.

Victors are apt to be spoilsports who decide that victory was less important than the fractures suffered by their fragile psyches (The Naked and the Dead, From Here to Eternity). The losers wryly argue that they were pushed around in a brawl they never made (All Quiet on the Western Front). As two-time losers, Germans have become experts in the blues of defeat. The latest sample to reach the U.S. is Gerhard Kramer's first novel, We Shall...
