...COMPUTERS. The company entered the computer field in the mid-1950s and so far has spent hundreds of millions to develop a full family of machines. Partly because of the competition from IBM (see page 63), it is unlikely to turn a profit before 1970 at the earliest. Another costly venture was G.E.'s purchase in 1964 of Machines Bull, a French computer manufacturer. G.E. has pumped well over $100 million into the company, most of whose major computer lines had to be scrapped; Bull has yet to earn a profit for G.E. Some management critics believe that...
Camel back Effect. As a result, many physicians believe that HK-68 is especially threatening to young, healthy adults. In most epidemics, only the aged, the infirm or the ailing young develop pneumonia as a result of direct infection of the lungs with flu virus. Others may develop a "secondary" bacterial pneumonia because their systems have been weakened by flu. By contrast, this winter more young men and women have gone rapidly from influenza to influenzal pneumonia. Some victims get out of bed after about with the flu only to be hit by a second round. According...
...recommend that Harvard join with M.I.T. and other interested groups in urging the City of Cambridge to develop a larger program for publicly assisted housing. . . . It is vital that the supply of low cost housing (especially for the elderly) and of moderate cost housing (for both faculty and community residents) be increased: this cannot be done without joint public-private effort sof a kind and scale not yet attempted in the city. . . . We believe it is possible for the city and the universities to announce, after appropriate study, a joint program to add a certain number of housing units with...
...toughest task was to develop a throwaway that was soft yet strong and moistureproof. For that, the engineers came up with a three-part design consisting of a quick-drying inner lining of soft rayon-like material, a middle layer of absorbent tissue wadding, and an outer sheet of waterproof polyethylene. By way of acknowledging that babies differ widely, the designers made Pampers in three sizes-"newborn," "daytime" and "extra strength" for overnight...
...down a toilet, and that it sometimes clogs up plumbing. P. & G. executives contend that clogging seldom if ever occurs. Some time ago, Shiffert's group hired a Manhattan market-research firm, Drake Sheehan/Stewart Dougall, which concluded that the No. 1 need of the diaper service is to develop an odor-free container. That task has been entrusted to the Arthur D. Little Inc., a management-consultant firm, and Shiffert claims that such a container is "about a year away." At the very least, the threat of disposables has inspired the diaper-service industry to seek improvement. As Shiffert...
