didn't Nixon communicate with labor elites and conservatives (e.g., the Teamsters) or
with the rank & file in a demagogic way?
don't we want to talk to the rank & file in a non-demogogic way?

Subject: [PEN-L] Nixon and Labor
I have been looking over an interesting article
Cowie, Jefferson. 2002. "Nixon's Class Struggle: Strategic
Formulations of the New-Right Worker." Labor History (August).
You can read it on line
http://www.findarticles.com/cf_0/m0348/3_43/91201898/p1/article.jhtml?term=
It suggests that Nixon was able to get a good feel for how to communicate
with labor.
Let me know what you think about it.
If a Nixon can figure out how to reach out effectively, why can't we be
equally creative???
