October 2, 1972 - Airline recuperates as pilot strike ends. Pilots need to retest for license, as the pilots are required to requalify. Work towards starting up operations as normal, however, other staff are waiting to hear from management as to how many staff will be brought back.

September 29, 1972 - Northwest airline mechanic talks about the effect of the strike on the staff, their inter-relationships and their licenses.

September 8, 1972 - A statement by member of the Twin Cities People's Blockade: part of national blockade effort, a nonviolent protest against Vietnam War and the war's continuing destruction. Two people were arrested for blocking the train track leading into Twin Cities Arsenal. This underscores Nixon administration's intent to continue the war at the same if not greater level of destruction as the Johnson administration. Group of seven protestors vigiling on railroad tracks since August 28 to highlight our responsibility to end the war in Vietnam. Arriving 15 minutes before train came US Federal Marshals who removed for second time a nine foot cross and olive tree on the track, read a statement ordering people off the tracks. They refused and sat down in front of oncoming train, and were then removed from the ordnance track. The train went into arsenal. When the train boxcars come out, they will be loaded with ammunition destined for use in what almost everyone considers an immoral and illegal war.

September 7, 1972 - "And the question proposed would be shall the Minnesota constitution be amended to remove the secretary of state, the state auditor, the state treasurer, and the attorney general from the constitution? Now it would still be possible if the legislature wanted to, to have any of these officers elected or you could provide for other officers that should be elected. And there maybe, should be, at least one other officer and that should probably be a post auditor. He should either be elected by the people or by the legislature. But not to perform the functions of the present auditor, but really to perform the functions of seeing that the administration is carrying out what the legislature said it could do."
