...last year). This year it stands to increase its share of the European market from 20% to 25% if Citroën comes into the fold. At home, sales have fallen off under competition from imports and from government-owned Alfa-Romeo. But Agnelli, Fiat's ardent pan-European, is more than making up for the decline with increased exports.

Though he never went to college, he is an ardent bibliophile, reads books as avidly as he hoards them, and once wrote a guide to book collecting called How to Build a Poor Man's Morgan Library. Accordingly, the University of California at Santa Cruz has tapped Strouse to become a regent's professor. In that capacity, starting next March, he will lecture and conduct seminars on art, literature, the history of rare books, the philosophy of business management and pragmatic economics. He may also work...
