...been at the helm for more than 24 hr., trying to stay in "good water." His eyes dart with worry as the Cavalier passes points that were mapped with sailors' lives: Icy Cape, Skull Cliff, Deadman's Island. Legs braced, he peers at the radar as Second Mate Rod Doe, 22, calls out compass bearings. Haifa mile in front, another tug, Navigator, comes across shallow water and its tow chains drag along the bottom, kicking up swirling brown puffs of gravel and mud. Minutes later, when Cavalier's tow chains drag, the entire boat shudders and bucks...
...real oddities of the ice cream industry is that business firms ranging in size from megacorp down to mom and pop can all do very well. No company can be said to dominate; Dart & Kraft, which makes Sealtest and Breyers ice cream, is in first place with sales of $337.3 million in 1979, but its market share is only 12.2%. Borden, with $257.8 million in sales and a 9.3% market share, comes second; Lever Bros., which owns Good Humor, is in seventh place with $62.9 million in sales and a 2.3% market share; and Howard Johnson is ninth with...
...agen-Dazs compete in a threatening way with Breyers, who claims that its Philadelphia plant produces more fine ice cream, with no preservatives, no artificial flavors and no stabilizers, than any other creamery in the country. Breyers is the top-of-the-line ice cream made by Dart & Kraft. Robert Zogby, a vice president of the company, boasted recently that "last week in New York City alone we sold more Breyers than Häagen-Dazs sold across the country in a year...
...exploration is hardly new to Michigan. In the late 19th century, drillers flocked to the state from the crowded oilfields of Pennsylvania and Ohio, only to be lured away by far more promising discoveries in Oklahoma and Texas a few years later. But the discovery last September by Dart Energy Corp. and PPG Industries Inc. of a natural gas deposit near Falmouth that energy experts estimate will produce more than 12 million cu. ft. of gas a day has brought wildcatters streaming back...
...missiles whose accuracy Draper is working to further perfect already can be projected from this side of the planet to within 500 feet of their target on the other side. You can better picture this accuracy if you think of throwing a dart across a football field and having it land within a millimeter of its target. With the Trident I, II, and the MX missiles Draper will reduce Circular Error Probability (CEP) to 300 feet. For the purposes of missile accuracy, this amounts to what the Real Paper described as the ability to "land a warhead in stall three...
