More than 100 workers continued their strike yesterday against Parks Sausage Co., Baltimore's last remaining meatpacking operation, protesting contract concessions that the company said were necessary for survival."

Max's story could have been a sad one, but it has a happy ending.The 11-year-old German shepherd is home again, safe and sound, although about to be a bit sorry.Early on April 23, Joseph Bagrowski, who is nearly blind and partially disabled, let Max out for a morning run in his Rosedale yard. The dog disappeared, a victim of his roving eye. The Bagrowskis say Max wandered off after one of his female companions in the neighborhood and got lost.Six days later, a frantic search for Max ended in joyful tears when a reward flier landed on an animal rescue worker's desk just as a woman in Hamilton called to say she had found a stray shepherd.
