SAG board approves deal

Yeah, but it was pretty close - only 53 percent voted in favor of the two-year deal, which gives you an idea of how precarious a toe hold the moderate faction has on the guild board. The SAG membership still has to ratify the contract, which is little different from the terms worked out by the other guilds last year. Nothing about residuals for most shows created for the Internet, which had been a sore point for the hard-liners. (LAT)
