-UAW (CIO) contract battle Tuesday strongly indicated that an agreement might be reached on the union's guaranteed wage demand without a strike. The nub of a possible settlement was contained in a new proposal handed to the union by the company, relaxing somewhat its strong position against the annual wage idea.

As we were booking passage on a plane to take me over to see my brother in Jackson, Roy (bless him!) asked me, "How would you like to adopt another baby?" I said there just wasn't a baby anywhere to take Robin's place.
