Neither Cook nor other company officers can expect to collect any executive bonuses this year. That expectation, together with the earnings drop, left them in a dyspeptic mood, and somebody had to take the blame. Last month President Arthur Larkin, 55, took early retirement under pressure, and Cook, 62, already the chairman and chief executive, became president as well. Says Cook: "We have to do the surgery, get it over with, and get on with the business...
...large doses of potassium-spiked orange juice prescribed by doctors to counteract the effects of weightlessness (see MEDICINE). The strange potion did not seem to bother him on the second moon walk, when the astronauts took more core samples, picked up rocks, and pushed over a large boulder to collect soil from underneath it (so scientists can compare the effects of cosmic-ray bombardment on varying soil samples). They drove the rover several hundred feet up Stone Mountain and, after parking it on what they thought was a dangerously steep slope, they simply picked it up and put it down...

Dustin Hoffmann, a shy mathematician, seeks solitude in Cornwall with his wife, played by Susan George. The wife's sex appeal attracts a group of subhuman yokels, who lure the husband away from the house in order to rape the wife. The double rape scene is brilliantly...

A study last year by former Budget Director, Charles Schultze, estimated that consumers pay an extra $4.5 billion a year for food because of price...
...Dodge Charger as a locker room and interview post. Apparently miffed over the near eviction of his driver-valet for not wearing the proper badge during a practice round, Trevino gave the clubhouse wider berth than a curl-lipped bunker. Nicklaus, of course, could not. He had to collect the winner's check of $25,000 and another green jacket...
