...most part, they are also designed to save as much development money as possible for the planemakers. Since it costs about $2 billion to design and tool up for an all-new plane and engines, most of the new generation will be cloned from present models, scaled down in size and outfitted with the latest technology. Even so, the cost of producing a derivation can reach $1 billion; hence, a planemaker must sell between 400 and 500 aircraft to break even...
...influence of federal law and regulation over the lives of all Americans, as well as over the businesses they operate and the groups they join. The Federal Government now has rules ranging from the establishment of whisky tax rates to the placement of toilets on construction sites, from the design of atomic power plants to the milk content of ice cream, from foreign arms sales to childproof tops on aspirin bottles.

Whoever does succeed Iacocca will have a tough act to follow.

Says she: "This is the fourth country in which I have made a home, and definitely the last." Ali Daghighfekr, 30, comes from an Iranian family that owns the Middle East's largest manufacturer of home appliances. Uncertain of the future of private enterprise in Iran...
...innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti are true, they are buried in the inevitable and agonizingly slow lurch towards a mawkish, yet depressing conclusion. Anderson's plays are strongly reminiscent of another expression of his times-Socialist Realism art. Like that famed WPA stuff, Winterset incorporates bold, tradition-smashing design with a sense of social justice; and like a Socialist Realism mural in a post office, it looks heavy and over-muscled-an awkward reminder of the not-so-distant past...
