150 Gays' writings [Not Subd Geog] [sp 85061799]
* 550 BT Literature CANCEL
* 550 BT Sexual minorities' writings
...less handy. Zinesters don't generally apply the term GAY to themselves. QUEER would be more like it. Please, LC? It's a generational thing. I guess the same could be said for BISEXUALS, who probably also prefer QUEER, but I think it's less of a problem than GAY. However...

The term SEXUAL MINORITIES seems like progress. I mean, GENDERQUEERS or GENDERFUCKERS would have been better, but that's still not bad. Then again...

* 450 UF Labor unions and socialism CANCEL
* 450 UF Socialism and labor unions CANCEL

450 UF Labor unions and social democracy
450 UF Socialism and labor unions
550 BT Socialism
There's a lot to say here, but I'll go with, "What about LABOR UNIONS AND ANARCHISM?" There is a heading for SYNDICALISM, btw, with a see also to LABOR UNIONS.
(C) 150 Moose populations [May Subd Geog] [sp2008004173]
550 BT Mammal populations
(C) 150 Pregnant teenagers [May Subd Geog] [sp2008001884]

(C) 150 Murder in the Bible [sp2008001735]
MURDER BECAUSE OF THE BIBLE anyone?
(C) 150 Proportional hazards models [May Subd Geog] [sp2008003951]
450 UF Cox proportional hazards models
450 UF Hazards models
550 BT Mathematical models
550 BT Survival analysis (Biometry)
360 SA subdivision Proportional hazards models under topical headings, e.g. Failure time data analysis Proportional hazards models
There needs to be a cross reference to MODELS (PERSONS). Proportional hazards, indeed.
PS I know Sandy Berman has asked before, but now my friend Greg Hom is, too. I hope LC will consider changing JEWISH-ARAB RELATIONS and any/all terms relating to it to the more accurate ISRAELI-ARAB RELATIONS. Greg's request is based on Palestine by Joe Sacco.

I'd like to see an Israeli-Palestinian heading, something that indicates the specificity of Israel's relationship with Palestinians, rather than just subsuming the entire conflict under Arab-Israeli Relations, a heading whose structure also suggests that Arabs come first in that conflict as the initiators. Lots of trouble on Palestinian headings, for sure.

Right, there needs to be PALESTINIAN-ISRAELI in addition to ARAB-ISRAELI instead of ISRAELI-ARAB.

Oh, and those sexuality
Oh, and those sexuality headings! Don't get me started! (By which I mean, of course, please do.)
To me the difference between queer and gay and who thinks what means what just calls the whole enterprise into question. LC simply can't switch back and forth with the linguistic alacrity lgbtqqetal folks can and do--a material impossibility! So how could we ever get the language finally correct? As soon as you fix it, it's off changing again. It's a puzzle, fer sure!
