Yes Harry's mentor Saul Alenski.

I was looking at it on Amazon and was reading some of the evaluation of some readers.
One guy wrote a rather long review. I'm not into cut and pasting the
whole article (that's Harry's schtick?) but I will post his closing paragraph-

"What I found quite amazing after reading "Rules for Radicals" is that
I feel that I had stumbled upon THE liberal playbook. It is quite easy
to look back at the lead-up to the elections of 2006 and 2008 and see
Alinsky's handiwork. But, I find myself wondering if the "radicals" now
in charge have unwittingly positioned themselves to be victims of their
own game ... I guess that answer may come in 2010 and/or 2012."

I think his dates were off a bit, but he was close...



Saul Alinsky devoted his intellect and his life to helping poor people.
Your Jesus would have liked him. I was delighted to spend some time
working with one of Alinsky's organizations and later retaining him as
key speaker at a convention for an organization for which I worked. Oh,
at that convention as it was closing, the professional staff went out on
strike and stayed out for 10 days. Management, of which I was a part,
could not get a settlement. On the 10th day, the union's chief
negotiator asked that I be brought to the table to represent management.
I settled the strike on the 11th day in less than an hour without it
costing the organization a dollar more than it had budgeted for staff.
That was the first time I worked as a labor negotiator. About a decade
later, I was part of a postal labor management committee that negotiated
the largest labor contract in the history of the United States.

What a guy. I am surprised we never heard about this.




I've posted this before.
