That deal also looks promising to Signal Chairman Forrest Shumway. Both he and Hennessy confidently predict that the merged company will become a much tougher competitor around the globe. "I think that when you're competing in the international market, size is a very important factor because some of the European and Asian combines are very, very large," says Shumway. "Mergers that you know couldn't have been approved several years ago are now being approved because I think the Government has realized that if you're going to compete with some of these foreign Goliaths, you can't have...
...timer? He is the Cro-Magnon man. Going into last weekend, he needed 20 more hits before he would reach 4,191, return to 1928 and rendezvous with the roughest competitor in baseball's history, Tyrus Raymond Cobb. Somehow Rose overshot his true generation, and has had to hustle almost a quarter of a century to rejoin a gang of bronze men just like him. "Wagner, Speaker, Musial, Aaron--Ty Cobb." He rattles off the last of the stops he has been hurrying past for years. "Ty Cobb," he says with, wonder. Rose's ten-month-old son is named...
...less interested hi a bonus, a business manager and a bowling alley than in fighting to win." But he was surprisingly modern in his self-interest.

By garnering almost 39% of the national vote, the charismatic center-left lawyer had outperformed his closest competitor, Newspaper Owner Jorge Carpio Nicolle, 53, of the moderately conservative National Center Union, who finished with 20%. But because he failed to capture an absolute majority, Cerezo must face Carpio in a runoff election on Dec. 8. Buoyed by his impressive showing, Cerezo declared confidently last week, "The second round...
Narda Zacchino, editor of the Times's Orange County edition, has reacted to the challenge partly by wooing away some of her competitor's brightest stars with fatter paychecks. (Register salaries average $575 a week, compared with the Times's $775.) Even Zacchino acknowledges, however, that the Register's look is an advantage difficult to overcome. "If a reader sees the same stories on the front of the Times and the Register, he will probably buy the Register for the color," says Zacchino. The Register enjoys another advantage: its home-delivery price is $5.25 a week, while the Times costs...
