...Mayor Jerome Cavanagh stepped into Detroit's 17-week-old newspaper strike that has shut down both the Free Press and the News. "This continued strike is a disgrace bordering on calamity," he told both sides last week. "This has gone far beyond any reasonable bounds. We all share a responsibility to resolve this demoralizing situation quickly because of the unique and critical problems confronting our city at the present time...
