Despite union opposition to labor-saving machinery, the paper bought new photographic composition equipment and began installing it in administrative offices two floors above the pressroom. It also started training about 125 employees to produce the paper during a walkout.

"When I think of Vince, the first picture that comes to my mind is of him lying on top of the cabinets thinking up stories for the paper."
