Especially for a union guy, he seemed to understand what education reform would take and didn't seem only to be interested in protecting the interest of union members. Or at least that's what he was selling in The New Republic. I really only know Shanker from the paid advertisement/columns that used to run in The New Republic.

There was the joke in Woody Allen's movie Sleeper, where it was said the US was destroyed because Albert Shanker got his hands on a nuclear bomb. Cheers, Bill Shanker was controversial.
