The Week

• Dear Mr. Reuther: To promote your speech at Yale University last week, your hosts plastered the campus with posters. Those posters were not, we find, bugged by a union seal. Moreover, we learn, they were not even printed by union labor! There should be a law against that kind of thing. Why don’t you pass one?

• This year, as every year (so protocol decrees), the President of the United States sent official birthday greetings on November 7 to the Soviet government on the anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. We, in our star-struck way, forgot the great date. It was all for the best. Since then, we believe we have found (in the form of a New York Daily News horoscope for Scorpio’s children—born between October 24 and November 22—which we quote below) the perfect all-hail from us to Moscow: “Happy Birthday, Scorpio! You should be enjoying a greater amount of social life, and gain through publicity or opportunities to travel and push your personal interests. Right now some opposition could be irksome, but in a few months you will be able to smooth your personal relationships, and turn your attention to artistic, creative and brilliantly new ventures. Don’t let this golden period get away from you by being confused or self-indulgent. Guard against temperamental changes in June and July. This coming year should prove a high point of achievement.”
