This article presents information on political developments in the United States. Back in May of this year, nine months into the strike of Local P-9 of the United Food and Commercial Workers against Hormel, some workers and artists dedicated a magnificent mural. The mural was conceived by Denny Mealy, a P-9 member and self-taught artist, and Mike Alewitz, a professional muralist from Virginia who went to P-9's national solidarity rallies in April and stayed to work on the painting without pay. One of the more comical spectacles now on offer is that of Renata Adler claiming harassment by Big Media, in the form of CBS and Time Inc.
