"Engaging--. Terrific--. Takes us over the collar line with grace and authority."-- The New York Times As a veteran reporter throughout the "downsizing" years of the auto industry in the United States and Canada, Queens-born Solange De Santis covered her fair share of auto plant closings, but almost always from the management's point of view.
