...kids move through the countless metal doors. Past the place where visitors have the insides of their shoes checked for contraband, past the detectors, the armed guard in the tower, the massive barbed-wire topped wall. To the right is the maximum end, where brutal conditions recently precipitated yet another hunger strike by inmates. Reach-Out participants head to the left, to what, in a maximum security prison, is euphemistically known as the "minimum" end because prisoners are not locked in their cells all day and prevented from taking part in programs. (Euphemism has taken hold in the prison bureaucracy...
...small rooms filled with wooden desks and chairs. They are greeted warmly by the inmate counselors who offer coffee and cigarettes. (Inmates must buy their own coffee and cigarettes but usually insist on sharing their meager supplies.) Small groups form, or, if the youth has visited before, he may move off into a cubicle with an inmate who has befriended him--often because they are from the same neighborhood--and in the course of a few weekly visits a confidence often develops between them.

Roy is sure that he has had an encounter...
...hear Meyers talk, however, if AMC does stop making cars the move would have to be forced over his dead body. It has long been AMC's claim that it needs to stay with cars to spread its total vehicle production costs and give its dealers more to offer the public. Ironically, in 1970, Meyers opposed AMC's acquisition of the Jeep business, which has turned out to be a large part of the company's salvation; instead, he wanted to concentrate on cars. Today he admits that "Jeep is a gold mine." Although AMC may no longer be able...
