When two sides reach an impasse, Ted Kheel is the man to call. In the course of six decades, he has resolved thousands of labour, business, environmental and civil rights disputes. At the request of presidents, governors and mayors he has repeatedly persuaded determined opponents to reach agreement at the bargaining table. In THE KEYS TO CONFLICT RESOLUTION, now expanded and updated and available in paperback for the first time, Kheel takes the reader behind the scenes to legendary negotiations, some successful and some not: * The New York City newspaper strikes of the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s. * Mario Cuomo's angling for a Supreme Court nomination. * The 234-day baseball strike of 1995. * Rex Harrison's replacement in the first Broadway production of My Fair lady. * The student takeover of Columbia University in 1968. "Negotiation is about changing the status quo. If both parties are satisfied with things the way they are, there is nothing for them to negotiate about." Kheel writes. In basic, straightforward prose he lays out the Ten Commandments for mediators, arbitrators and negotiators.
