When somebody tells us that we just look at them and say that in order for us to be here next year it will still be $6581 . . . .

AP . . . I sometimes wistfully recall those discussions . . . . where oh where did David go?

I've gotta throw my 2 cents in here, been in printing since before I could really remember, my Dad was the Asst. Prod. Manager for the Detroit News when I was just out of diapers and the family stayed in that strange and wonderful world until about 1977 when I was getting out of school. He...
