VL-Hub's monologue

[kelber at mindspring.com]

(p. 288-291):  This is one of the high points of the book, in my opinion.  Hub's monologue/diatribe on IATSE vs. CSU captures the essence of everything that went wrong with the American labor movement, bringing it to its current sorry state.  His culminating words:

"'...I let the world slip away, made my shameful peace, joined the IA, retired soon's I could, sold off my only real fortune -- my precious anger -- for a lot of got-dam shadows.'"

speak not only to the dissolution of the labor movement, but to the fizzling of the "spirit" of the 60s.
