By year's end, however, Chrysler shares had gunned ahead to 17¾, and the warrant was trading...
...Governor of traditionally Republican New Hampshire, who upset Incumbent Meldrim Thomson in 1978 on his promise (later honored) to eliminate a surcharge from electric bills and hold the line on taxes; of liver and kidney failure, a week before he was to leave office; in Boston.
