...Eldon Brean, collector at the MBTA Harvard Square station, said yesterday there are a "lot of suitcases. It's been wicked this afternoon." But he added, "It's always like this on a three-day weekend...
James Johnson was the son of a Mississippi sharecropper who came north to Michigan to look for work in one of the big factories. He looked for two years, and finally landed a job at Chrysler's Eldon Avenue Gear and Axle Plant, where three thousand people work every day. He was assigned to the No. 2 oven...
