...nation's nostrils-and was quickly followed by another strike of trash haulers in Memphis, Tenn. Detroit's summer epidemic of "blue flu," in which 700 policemen reported sick, deprived that city of 30% of its on-duty law-enforcement force. A 1967 walkout of firemen in Youngstown, Ohio, emptied all but one of 15 fire stations. In fact, Ohio, which has a tough law calling for the firing of every public employee who goes on strike, has had at least 30 strikes-involving police, nurses, city service employees, teachers and other government workers-in the past year...

Two years later, he assumed the first of several company-wide posts, became executive vice president for production...
...orders placed with factories rose modestly in March, the Commerce Department reported last week. And manufacturers' inventories showed their smallest gain ($311 million) in almost two years, as rising retail sales eased economists' worry over the "inventory overhang." Says President Robert Williams of Youngstown Sheet & Tube: "Customer stocks of steel have come down pretty well. We have seen the bottom of our operating curve." Says Alcoa President John Harper: "We feel the economy will gather strength. We expect the aluminum industry to grow faster than the economy...
