Mr. Reuther Goes to Yale

Perhaps it was an omen that the placards announcing the impending arrival at Yale University of Walter Reuther were printed in a non-union shop. If it had been Shakespeare due in town to write the third act of Hamlet, and then read it at Woolsey Hall at eight, his scheduled movements throughout the day could not have been planned with more loving care. From the moment Reuther and his retinue were met at the airport by the mayor, and a resplendent delegation, Walter Reuther was not permitted to be alone, or untended. And yet his visit was a flop.
