There is no definitive Cavanagh biography that I am aware of. The best known book about Detroit in the 1960s in Thomas Sugrue's Origins of the Urban Crisis, but that book is extremely incomplete in that it contains nothing about Detroit's sky-high taxes and neglects the role of the riots in destroying the city.
The most thorough study of the riots is Sidney Fine's Violence in the Model City.-- Dinopup
The information about the 1967 riot was interesting, but a bit off-topic so I removed it. I didn't want to lose it, though, so I incorporated it in the article about the riot, 12th Street Riot. --Chowbok 20:34, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)
I'd like to know why the author believes that if the Big Three had wanted to rid themselves of unions, they'd move 20-30 miles into ex/suburbs where they'd still be unionized. That's ridiculous. It seems to me to be more conservative hobble gobble: Blame unions for everything wrong in this country despite the fact that our standard of living was created by those unions.
