That philosophy will soon get its first major test. On April 20, contracts expire between the United Rubber Workers and Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestone and Uniroyal. U.R.W. President Peter Bommarito is demanding pay and fringe hikes averaging more than 8% annually over the next three years. Among other things, the 87,000 rubber workers want the right to retire on full pensions after 25 years of service, regardless of age, and payments to workers left jobless when plants relocate...
...have Wooden's teams, both tiny and tall, lost only 15 of 281 over the past decade? Former U.C.L.A. players who have graduated to the pros cite various reasons.

Marsh had a weakness for caricature and sentiment, but his best paintings preserve the raucous, burlesque New York of the '30s and '40s in exuberant amber...
RAPHAEL SOYER by Lloyd Goodrich. 349 pages. Abrams. $42.50. This is the first full-scale book about New York's painter laureate of the lonely crowd, Raphael Soyer (twin brother of Moses Soyer, another figurative artist).
