...some companies may benefit. Short-haul airlines expect to win new passengers because rising gasoline prices make it cheaper to fly than to drive. But long-haul lines may have to cut service to small cities. T.W.A. last week scrubbed five flights out of Kansas City for lack of fuel. The auto industry stands to benefit because rising gasoline prices are likely to move shoppers to buy fuel-efficient cars. That will help automakers meet strict federally mandated "fleet average" mileage standards for vehicle sales. On the other hand, fast-food chains, restaurants and hotels will suffer if Americans drive...
...survey does not tell how all of the country's 727 commercial stations are doing, however. For that information, which advertisers demand, the two rating services select hundreds of thousands of families, a combined total of more than 400,000 in February alone, and send them diaries. To cut costs, it was decided that instead of measuring daily, as Nielsen does for the networks, local ratings would be taken comprehensively during four months supposedly typical of their seasons: November, February, May, and three weeks in July.

The size of the country's mineral and oil reserves is uncertain, and they cannot be quickly exploited. Joint ventures will help, and the most likely schemes will give foreign companies a 49% stake if they put up the cash and expertise in exchange for a share of future production. Talks along these lines are already going on with major U.S. oil companies, which want to explore offshore...
...seeds of the deal germinated last month over a dinner that Iacocca had with his longtime friend Kelmenson. By the time Kelmenson reached for the check, Iacocca had dangled before him a 26% increase in domestic billings and a five-year no-cut contract instead of the standard 90-day termination agreement...
