...Inflation. Some White House officials put pressure on Secretary of Labor W.J. Usery, acting as a mediator, to get the strike settled. He did, but at the price of a contract that will raise wages and benefits 33% between now and 1979. President Ford declared that the settlement "does fit into our overall economic plans and forecasts for the next three years."

So over vacation I went to about six used-clothing stores and tried on about 30 tuxes that were big enough for someone else to get in with me until I found one that fit--midnight blue but baggy--for 13 dollars in a Veteran's Warehouse on the east side ghetto of my hometown. I could borrow the cummerbund from my roommate, and my mother found an ancient pair of suspenders with leather loops up in the attic. All in all it was a big pain...
