Although the confrontation was in Germany, the hostages were Jews and the West Germans bear such a psychological burden of guilt from the past that they felt that they had to defer to Israel.

By taking advantage of complex tax provisions that allow corporations to depreciate equipment much faster than it actually wears out, ITT was able to defer much of its tax bill until future years. Last year it deferred some $64 million in taxes, presumably a hefty share of them federal income taxes.
