While Dodge Main once housed its own foundry, sewing room and stamping plant, it now became an assembly plant. In a good year, like 1973, it could pour 511,000 cars out onto the second-floor inspection deck. But in bad years, which most have been lately for Chrysler, the plant cost a bundle.

He told an Italian TV interviewer: "When I first arrived in New York...
...attendants. After a briefing in Khmer and Lao and the processing of health forms, the refugees were hustled aboard buses and taken to a TraveLodge motel for introductory lessons on American life: how to operate light switches, how to use a toilet. Many stood on the motel's second-floor balcony and stared uncomprehendingly at the rush of traffic below. Others squatted on the pink sidewalk and simply gazed at their feet.
