...religious supporters hope he will spread their dream of Islamic ascendancy for Indonesia. Yet he is a highly educated scientist and dedicated believer in the power of technology. He studied aeronautical engineering in Germany and worked his way up to a vice presidency at the aircraft makers Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm before Suharto personally called him home in 1974 to help Indonesia establish an industrial base. For 20 years he served as Minister of Research and Technology, developing a string of "strategic industries" to build airplanes, steel mills, cars and ships in Indonesia...
...each when the issue began trading in February. After a brief run-up to $21.50 on its first day of trading, MathSoft shares short-circuited, falling 76% to the current price of $5.13. Particularly galling to these new shareholders was the report that five insiders, including president David Blohm, had already bailed out, selling more than 384,000 shares after the first week of trading at prices averaging around...
...development. Japan Railways Group (JR), the leader in the Japanese development, uses a design that relies on magnets made with superconductors, the extraordinary materials that carry electrical currents without resistance. The West German model, known as the Transrapid and built by a consortium that includes Thyssen Henschel, Messerschmitt, Bolkow-Blohm and Krauss Maffei, uses conventional electromagnets. The West Germans stopped using superconductors in 1979, convinced that the technology was out of reach. Thus, if the Japanese can get their design into marketable shape soon, they could build a lead in the vital field of superconductors and establish a strong grip...
...Bonn government still ended up with what one official called a "most valuable" cache of documents and four other prisoners: Alfred Bahr, 58, a physicist in the solar-power division of Munich's Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm aerospace plant; Karl Hauffe, 65, head of the organic chemistry department at Göttingen University; Günter Sänger, 32, an engineer with the giant Siemens electronics corporation in Coburg; and Gerhard Arnold, 43, an executive of a Munich computer company. None was as big a fish as Günter Guillaume, longtime former aide to Chancellor Willy...
...system, called Gleitende Arbeitszeit (staggered work time) was begun four years ago by the aircraft and electronics firm of Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm, mostly because company bosses saw no other way of breaking the thick traffic tie-ups that developed when all employees tried to arrive at 7 a.m. Staggered hours have since been adopted by some 2,000 other firms, which find that the new freedom pares absenteeism by as much as 20% and actually increases productivity...
