Historical/Biographical Note
Kenneth C. Crowe, was a journalist, writing for Newsday from 1963 until his retirement in 1999. In his early years at Newsday he specialized in foreign investment, and traveled widely in Europe and the Middle East. He was part of an investigative team that won the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal in 1970 and went on to win a long list of professional awards and honors. From 1976 he was assigned to cover organized labor, and his columns on the subject became essential reading on the recent history of the New York-area labor movement. Crowe's research on Ron Carey's successful campaign for the presidency of the Teamsters resulted in the publication, in 1993, of his book, Collision: How the Rank and File Took Back the Teamsters.
