...comment along to the police, but it was one of thousands of tips, and was ignored. After Bianchi's arrest in Bellingham, Los Angeles police took another look and discovered some remarkable coincidences. For six months he had lived in the same Glendale apartment building as Kristina Weckler, the Hill side Strangler's seventh victim. He lived across the street from Cindy Hudspeth, victim No. 13, and once lived in the Hollywood apartment building where Kimberly Martin, victim No. 12, was killed...

Roland Thomas hastily announced that the demand had been withdrawn. Far from satisfied, Chrysler's Weckler demanded a guarantee (presumably from John Lewis) that no such demand by any C.I.O. union should again be made during the life of the new contract. "Just so long as the corporation continues to drag extraneous issues into the situation," replied Mr. Thomas with a straight face, "so long will the corporation have...
