and dismissed a nasty trademark- Negotiations to end Broadway's stagehand strike were at the bargaining table into the wee hours Monday morning and until Tuesday morning ordering in vats of coffee as intense talks fueled hope of a deal. Tuesday brought forth no hope. Talks broke down and both sides left with no hope of coming back to the table at this time.

The Stagehands strike is over with just a couple of things to do, all is back to business, good. The Jackson 5 is doing a Reunion Tour. All the boys are back together including Michael.
