seats directly behind the driver.
While they were waiting for
one or two others 10 show up,

his head on il and half dozed
Meantime, Sloan and Bradley
became engrossed in a discus
sion Of a new project which
involved changes in all GM
plants.
"Did YOU get any bids on
that ." Sloan asked
Eyes. we can get the entire
lob done for 100000, 600"
