Finally the A.A. "cure" took when Bob was at the ripe age of 15. Sobriety has not been easy. A well-meaning social worker pressured Bob to take tranquilizers to relieve his tension. He refused. "If I did that," he asks, "then why not drink? I was tired of being told that 1) I'm alcoholic, and 2) I need to take tranquilizers to survive.

These settlements may ease the spiraling labor costs that have contributed to rising car prices in the past. Moreover, Dunlop got from Ford and GM, the industry's price leaders, a pledge to limit wholesale price hikes on 1974 model cars and trucks to an average of $150. In the wake of that agreement, Ford boosted suggested retail prices...
