Man in the News: John Joseph Sweeney;New Fire for Labor
Date: 26 October 1995
By Steven Greenhouse

John J. Sweeney, the new president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., was not playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules when he told the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors in July that if it pushed through a plan to cut 18,000 workers from its payroll, his union would conduct "a massive campaign of resistance and retribution." Mr. Sweeney, who has spent 15 years as president of the Service Employees International Union, warned the Los Angeles officials that instead of forcing labor to accept their plan, they had better show workers some respect and sit down with union leaders to discuss less-painful ways to make budget cuts.

For Many Visiting Journalists, a Different Perspective on New York

Sure, the Clinton-Jiang meeting was of some interest to the reporters from all over the world who converged on New York to cover the anniversary of the United Nations, as was Yasir Arafat's snub by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Fidel Castro's visit to Harlem. But these events were not their focus. Yavuz Yorulmaz, for instance, a journalist from Turkey, was much more keenly interested in the New York meeting between President Suleyman Demirel of Turkey and President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan.

By a nearly 3-to-1 margin, the public rejects the tax cuts that Senate Democrats spent the day denouncing. And by a 2-to-1 ratio, the public disapproves of the Republicans' Medicare plan, while conceding that it does not know much about it.

The University of Michigan, which has offered courses in journalism since 1890, announced earlier this month that it would stop enrolling students in its master's degree program in journalism beginning next fall. Certainly the University of Michigan is not alone in its decision to reconsider its journalism program. The University of Washington in Seattle, Ohio State University at Columbus and the University of Arizona at Tucson have also undergone similar reviews.

In a tie and suit, Fidel Castro, describing himself as a politician, flattered the media biggies gathered for lunch in Mort Zuckerman's Fifth Avenue apartment with: "You are the cream of the crop."
