...Vancouver, an alpine cable car whisks diners to a restaurant 3,700 ft. up the side of Grouse Mountain, overlooking the lights of the busiest harbor on the entire West Coast and a forest of apartment towers on English Bay that give the city the look of a northern Rio. Downtown, the old waterfront is getting a face lift, and the commercial center a cluster of towers, one of which would be ideal for the Bank of British Columbia that Bennett promises...
...concert manager worth his 10% feels the same way, but when Jay Hoffman and George Schutz speak of their work, there is a decided absence of self-serving tone. Hoffman, 32, and Schutz, 28, comprise one of the busiest, most imaginative and most unorthodox management teams in New York. They have just wound up a highly successful month-long Mozart Festival at Manhattan's Philharmonic Hall under the sponsorship of Lincoln Center. Skeptics would have considered Mozart box-office suicide during a dreary New York summer. Yet the festival presented 26 consecutive concerts featuring more than 100 orchestra, chamber...
...profits.* Their employees-not only the machinists but also some 42,500 laid-off pilots, stewardesses, office and reservation clerks-missed a total of $68.8 million in pay.

On one day, they traded an alltime-high 270 million bushels of wheat, corn, oats, rye and soybeans-an amount almost three times greater than last year's average. Twice the market's opening had to be delayed an hour in order to catch up on paper work, something that had never happened before...
...Europe's third-busiest port (after Rotterdam and London), factories and tank farms are sprouting amid ancient cathedrals and guild halls. Foreign companies have invested $750 million in new plants since 1964, plan some $500 million more over the next three years in a city whose population (654,500) is smaller than New Orleans. This month General Motors laid the cornerstone for a $100 million factory-G.M.'s second in Antwerp-that will be the company's main European assembly point, employ more than 6,000 Belgians and turn out 300,000 Opels a year.
