...After the meeting Brown appointed a committee to study election procedures. We were disturbed not only that as small a group as 1.25 per cent of the Coop's 60,000 members could conceivably assume control of the company, but also that under the present 'winner-take-all' system over a thousand members had gotten no representation." Brown said...
...decision, California Supreme Court Justice Raymond Peters noted that the state once had an obvious interest in preventing abortions. Any internal surgery used to be dangerous, said Peters, in the days when doctors could not control infection. Today, he pointed out, it is safer for a woman to have a hospital abortion in her first three months of pregnancy than to have a child.

Actor McKellen burns in that fire -thin, lips taut, gleaming with royalty and nerve. He has the mighty breath for the Marlowe line.

Italmobiliare is 100% owned by Italcementi, an important shareholder in Bastogi, which in turn owns...
...system has come under attack from several fronts lately, as both the government and forward-looking private investors have sought to pry open the country's long-closed business establishment. Acting through a state-owned investment bank, the government-owned holding companies ENI and IRI quietly bought effective control of Montecatini Edison last October. Once in power, the state agencies ousted both Sade-Finanziaria and Italpi from a syndicate of controlling stockholders because the companies were owned by Montecatini...
