The Labor Department expects employment, which began to turn up in late March and early April, to rebound sharply this month. The A.F.L.-C.I.O., meanwhile, predicted that the U.S. working force in 1960 will win wage hikes "at least equal to and most likely somewhat larger than...

Essentially, this is the shot a short man might take to overcome the height of his opponent, has the serious disadvantage of moving Chamberlain away from the rebound. Now Chamberlain is beginning to exploit his size and strength by bulling straight for the hoop, overpowering his man with a leap so high that he merely lets the ball roll off his palm for a sure basket...
