It canceled its contract as of May 29. The move astounded and infuriated the U.A.W., which is now faced with an industry-wide shutdown if it strikes one of the companies, since all can refuse to operate without contracts. Roared Reuther: "They can't make us strike. We are not going to accommodate the industry by striking to deplete their inventories. I can assure you they are not going to get away with...

Evidently the shutdown was incomplete or for a shorter period because, although the cells in Broca's area had been damaged, the damage was not severe: overnight the doctors observed improvement in the President's speech.

There the tiny sebaceous glands, which are designed to secrete fats to oil the skin, become clogged with an abnormally waxy form of these fats. Blackheads and pimples form over the shutdown pores; there may also be pustules, but infection is believed to be the result of the acne, not the cause of it. In severe, persistent cases, the scars left by pimples and pustules can cause lifelong disfigurement...
