Magge Heineman here,
The lead story is about the Campaign for Equal Rights at Chrysler.
Yours truly created the website for the Chrysler Campaign and I've 
been remiss in not updating it -- it's been four months now since
the November 14 National Day of Protest which forced Chrysler to give
lipservice -- for the first time ever they used the words 
"sexual orientation"  in a company document.

There are various efforts to push Chrysler -- Ron Woods continues
his five year campaign. The gay/lesbian/employees network,
People of Diversity, is trying to work within the system.

I'm not going to give you the source of this email, so consider
it hearsay,  but this is what I'm hearing:

So, watch for "In the Life."  I have promised that I will work 
on the Chrysler Campaign Website this Wednesday and get 
it updated.
