The union seeks an increase of 600 an hour above the current average wage of $5.76. Many of Greyhound's passengers were left stranded by the strike. Countless students and other travelers heading home for Thanksgiving found it hard to find space on crowded trains, planes, and nonstriking bus lines...

Despite his halo of blond hair and seraphic smile, and those aphorisms he kept delivering in the movie The Little Prince, Steven Warner, 8, is a seasoned trouper. On a jaunt to Hollywood, Steven took along his bus-driver parents John and Rita Warner and his sister Mandy, 10, to enjoy his fame. In an appearance on Dinah!, he brought down the house when asked what he talked to other kids about. "The usual," he said. "My film."
