...largest of the 69 U.S. banks that have failed this year. The collapse of Unitedbank-Houston (assets: $218 million) showed once again how shaky some parts of the American financial system are, especially in the depressed oil patch. When officials from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation shut down the bank last week, TIME Correspondent Richard Woodbury went along to see how such an operation is carried out. As it happened, the drama had an unexpected denouement. His report...
McDonnell Douglas has a particular grievance against Airbus: using "predatory" practices in trying to persuade customers who had already ordered the MD-11 to switch to the A340 instead. Scandinavian SAS airlines had signed a letter of intent to buy a dozen MD-11s and had put down a deposit on the order. Then Airbus jumped in with attractive concessions to SAS on a deal (the details are undisclosed) to buy A340s. The airline has delayed its final decision...
Changing the Glass-Steagall Act is the focus of the current power struggle between the country's financial giants. The battle is as much psychological as political.

Last month, for example, Chase Manhattan introduced a deposit account with a yield tied to the stock market's performance. That measure provoked the mutual-fund industry to file a lawsuit alleging violation of Glass-Steagall. In short, the battle between investment bankers and their commercial rivals will continue to intensify, and the pressure on the beleaguered U.S. banking...
...Chase Manhattan Bank $2.95 billion and Manhattan's Bankers Trust and Manufacturer's Hanover Trust an additional $1.5 billion. Outwardly, many of Texaco's creditors and lenders are serene about the situation. But at one major Manhattan bank with several hundred million dollars' worth of Texaco corporate notes on deposit, a senior executive admits to "angst and anxiety" over the bankruptcy filing. Venezuela's state-owned oil company has hinted that it may shut off shipments of crude to Texaco; the Venezuelans have been discussing the matter with Texaco Chief Executive James Kinnear...
