...Industries, Inc., which is partly controlled by Heinrich and Giinter Rohm of the German firm, employs about 200 people to do that kind of assembly work at a shabby white concrete building in the garment district of northwest Miami. The cheap alloy frame is smoothed with a file and then placed on an assembly line where the barrel and German parts are inserted. Then the metal is tinted a dark blue. RG Industries last year sold 190,000 such weapons, making it the nation's fifth largest handgun producer...
Foti thinks the statues must date from not much later than the Archaic period, which ended in 450 B.C., since their posture is the typical Archaic stance, with the left foot forward.

One of the new cars-made under U.S. Department of Energy auspices by General Electric, Chrysler and Globe-Union, a major battery manufacturer-was low slung and wedgelike, with the sexy space-age acronymic designation ETV-1 (for electric test vehicle).

Prices range from $300 on up to $550 for models with cast-alloy wheels, special suspensions and cushy seats. Pedals are used to start the machines and assist them on hills...
