...shudder at your revelations about poor rates paid to freelance writers [April 10]. But you omitted the other side.

"That's about a 60-day supply, which is normal, given the present selling rate," says Pontiac General Manager Alex Mair. To demonstrate their confidence, the carmakers have scheduled production of some 850,000 vehicles this month, the highest for the industry in any April...
