...just bought $30 worth of fishing gear and plan to spend pleasant Saturdays on Potato Lake rather than listening to the nitpicky diamond dialogue between Tony Kubek and Joe Garagiola. The next strike will involve only me and a fish...
Chrysler has, however, been showing some signs of financial sanity recently. For example, it has abandoned its policy of building cars on speculations. (This year Chrysler had 80,000 new models that nobody wanted. Enter Joe Garagiola and his brilliant sales pitch: Buy a Chrysler, get a check.)

The company's advertising agency, Kenyon & Eckhardt, and some 25 other suppliers and service agents are giving additional rebates of $100 to $500 to any of their employees who buy Chryslers. In addition, Chrysler since May has been granting its dealers special discounts that now range from $325 to $1,500 per auto. These cuts...
