...being churned out by Boston Globe Reporter Ben Bradlee Jr. The deal is only in the exploratory stage, but Hollywood gossip mills already tab Treat Williams as a natural for the part of the hound-dog-eyed Marine. Some would-be casting agents, however, favor Mel Gibson or Harrison Ford. And who better to portray the portly former National Security Adviser John Poindexter than Edward Asner? On the basis of hairstyle alone, Farrah Fawcett is a shoo-in for the part of Ollie's secretary, Fawn Hall. Unless, of course, she beats out Rice Look-Alike Cheryl Ladd...

Money, of course, will also be an issue. Though GM is struggling, Ford is raking in record profits. During the first half of 1987, Ford outearned its much bigger rival by $2.99 billion to $1.9 billion. The average base pay of Ford's workers, meanwhile, has not gone up since 1984, when wages increased 2.25%, to $12.82 an hour. The union will feel more than justified in demanding bigger pay hikes from Ford in the next three-year contract.
