☆ A New Interest in Unions
  + stars: | 2023-07-18 | by ( David Leonhardt | More About David Leonhardt | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Cantor was one of the founders of a new Hollywood labor union, the Screen Actors Guild, along with James Cagney, Miriam Hopkins, Groucho Marx, Spencer Tracy and others. The previous month, the union’s members had elected Cantor as their president. During Roosevelt’s early flurry of legislation, he signed an economic recovery bill that included a provision giving workers a clearer right to join labor unions than they had previously had. Americans responded by signing up for unions by the thousands. By inviting Cantor to join him for Thanksgiving, Roosevelt reminded Americans of the central role that labor unions played in a healthy capitalist economy.

In elementary school, a teacher introduced us to “The Wreck of the Hesperus,” a poem published in 1842 by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and if we hadn’t read “Captains Courageous,” Rudyard Kipling’s 1897 novel, we’d probably seen the 1937 film starring Spencer Tracy. We knew the tale of Gloucester hero Howard Blackburn, who rowed his dory to Newfoundland in an 1883 storm, his hands frozen to the oars.

THERE ARE FEW BETTER WAYS to detect the decade in which a film or TV show was made than through its characters’ use of technology. Does the villain connive via a computer that displays only 72-point green type? ‘Desk Set,’ 1957In the eighth film Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy made together, Ms. Hepburn plays a TV network’s invincibly knowledgeable research librarian. Later, EMERAC goofs up royally, printing pink slips laying off everyone in the company. For some reason, this bleak view of early computing was sponsored in part by IBM.
