"Francis J. Bloustein, a retired State Supreme Court justice, died Wednesday at his home in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. He was 77 years old. After a long career as a lawyer for the city and as a planning official, Justice Bloustein was elected to Supreme Court in 1966. He was soon at the center of three illegal strikes by the United Federation of Teachers that kept a million children out of classes for 36 days."
