...neither should we. The ACSR is right--it is "relatively ineffective" to ask companies operating in South Africa if they would mind desegregating their lunchrooms, as per the Sullivan Principles.

NIOSH promptly notified OSHA, which inspected the plant, fined P.C.C. $210, and gave it four months...

Miss Mannes seems to demand a "good death," a death with "dignity" rather as if she were a union representative asking a corporation president for a decent lunchroom...
