Notorious Barbary Coast Has Sedate New Look
San Francisco reports a cleaned up Barbary Coast where Pierino Gavello now leases only to fabric and furniture dealers. The once notorious Pacific Street district has faded from its wild past after Prohibition and WWII, with enforcement and long term leases shrinking saloons and burlesque venues.

Small Percentage Organized Police Unions Across Nation
Across the United States a small fraction of police are in unions led by the AFL CIO federation of state county and municipal employees. The federation says about 7000 officers in 45 cities plus 12 towns are members, representing roughly 2.2 percent of all publicly employed officers. Leaders defend nonstrike pacts while warning future changes could alter loyalties, with pilots in Portland noting no current issues and no formal contracts.
