Brennan labor post nominations face Senate criticism
New York union leader Peter J. Brennan, Nixon’s pick for secretary of labor, faces Senate scrutiny over minority participation in New York City construction unions. Estimates show minority membership at about 2 percent amid a long history of restricted entry, with the onus on the designed New York City Plan to boost training for blacks and Puerto Ricans.

Donald F. Bibeau of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe rebuts Gerald Vizenor’s romantic view of tribal life in The Everlasting Sky. He argues Vizenor’s language and claims misrepresent Indian education and progress, decrying the idea that many Indians reach success and questioning reliance on external funding and “new savior” economic plans.
