The Austrian Business Agency - which deals with prospective foreign investors - says it has been inundated with inquiries after the government announced its intention to slash corporate rates; in the first three months of this year alone, it dealt with 900 requests, a 77% increase in the number in the same period a year ago.

DIED. THOMAS GOLD, 84, subversive astrophysicist whose brilliant and often heretical scientific theories dealt with everything from the mechanics of the human ear to the origin of the universe; in Ithaca, N.Y.
