## Opinion text

FLAHERTY, Justice,
concurring.
I join the majority opinion with the hope that we have now made it clear, after repeatedly so holding, that the "... arbitrator in analyzing (a) dispute may have failed to properly perceive the question presented or erroneously resolved it, (but that) does not provide justification for judicial interference. Our inquiry ends once it is determined that the issue properly defined is within the terms of the agreement.”
So be it!
