Throughout the summer and deep into the fall, the prospect of a default by New York City on its mountainous debt threatened to abort the recovery by wiping out most of the value of billions of dollars of city securities held by banks and individuals across the country, and by making it difficult for other cities and states to raise money in the bond market. Finally, President Ford, who had adamantly refused to "bail out" New York, agreed to $2.3 billion in federal loans this year, after the city had made savage cuts in expenditures and agreed...

Its creditors-no fewer than 103 banks and 33 institutional investors -forgave Continental in April, when it defaulted on $652 million in obligations. They began complex negotiations to refinance the debts. Those negotiations could not be completed by the Dec. 1 deadline, so Continental last week was forced into a second default...
