...publishers offered the Teamsters a $30-a-week raise over three years. Teamster International Vice President Robert Holmes recommended that the locals accept it.

Last night Hoare delivered most of his lines like a town crier, which may have been indicative more of first night uneasiness than anything else.

After the fall he went mad, imagining himself to be the character he had been impersonating in the pageant, the 11th century Emperor Henry IV of Germany. He lived in a villa complete with throne, courtiers and artifacts of the period. For the first twelve years after his accident, the pseudo Emperor lived out this illusion...
