The Big 3 automakers return to top headlines in Detroit as they head to Capitol Hill this week to plead for a $25-billion rescue.
"Bold pitch takes shape," said the Free Press banner headline. It used red ink to highlight 
words in subheads: "UAW to mull concessions/GM to cut executive pay/Ford to show future cars."
Yesterday, The News reported on automakers' strategy. Today, it leads with "UAW mulls reopening contracts to aid Big 3."
Both newspapers printed columns -- the Free Press' on the front page ("Only a vision of overhauling the industry will do" by Tom Walsh) and The News' Daniel Howes' "Shared denial takes Big 3 to the brink" inside.
The News also offers a map illustrating other countries that are considering bailouts for their automakers, and the Free Press' coverage include a sports perspective: "NASCAR's (team boss) Rick Hendrick: Don't punish Big 3, assist them."
Both newspapers also balanced this morning's front pages with news of the guilty plea to perjury by a former aide to the the ex-mayor.
