...chief negotiator of the company's $1.5 billion Government-guaranteed loan. Says he: "Government officials make it sound so easy: just retrain everybody. When one industry gets hurt by this avalanche of Japanese cars, you switch them all to washing cars. This isn't the jelly-bean business. What if, God forbid, we go to war, and we're fighting the guy who's been supplying us with all the trucks and tanks? Do we rent them from...
...redundant to say Jack is back. But I guess he never left. He has copped two major titles in one summer, a season many observers predicted would be the undeniable end of Nicklaus' reign as King. Then, just as Tom Watson and Andy Bean thought it was safe to view for the throne. Jack stopped pulling his putts and collected two major tourneys, knocking the "kids"--by now accomplished pros--back on their butts...
Robert Shnayerson, a former TIME senior editor, succeeded Morris, adding earnest stories on the environment and a section called "Tools for Living," a kind of survival guide for the bean-sprout generation.

On signal, the demonstrators hook one section of fence and pull, and glory be to God it comes down, allowing access to a twenty-by-thirty foot storage yard surrounded by another fence. Before the demonstrators can claim this...
Whatever the variations, this is the look that women across the U.S. are buying in quantity. Loafers-penny or tasseled-L.L. Bean moccasins and Bass Weejuns are so much a part of the ensemble that some shoe manufacturers are three months behind in filling their orders. Says a saleswoman at Pella, a high-fashion shoe store in Atlanta's Lenox Square: "If one more person comes in here and asks for Bass Weejuns, I think I'll scream." Stores that have always catered to the Preppie trade-notably, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor and, naturally, Brooks Brothers...
