...making what he was a year ago. Where he had drawn $150,000 in salary and severance pay from his bank and picked up another $20,000 in consulting fees, he now earns $57,500 as OMB director. He may continue to get about $150,000 in dividend income and perhaps another $125,000 in capital gains, which would bring his income to an estimated $335,000. But that is at least $35,000 short of his 1977 interest obligations alone...
...Herr Fix-It of German industry. Two weeks ago, Schmücker, 56, reported that in 1976 the company had cleared a profit of $425 million, which, with tax credits, is more than enough to wipe out its losses of the previous two years, and that it is resuming dividend payments, which were suspended after 1973. And last week Schmücker journeyed to Pennsylvania to check on the development of a new plant that will begin turning out the Rabbit early next year-making Volkswagen the only foreign manufacturer to build cars...
...they were producing a sticky substance called colanic acid that held them together in the absence of their normal outer coat. By manipulating still another of the microbe's genes, Curtiss and Pereira deprived the bug of its ability to make colanic acid.

...consumer spending flattened out, profits turned downward again and Genesco's creditors became worried about their loans (the company had to refinance $70 million in debt that fell due in November). Stockholders bridled when Jarman announced at the annual meeting in December that Genesco would pay them no dividends before 1978. Common shareholders have received nothing since 1973, and Genesco is behind in dividend payments on preferred stock. Shareholders also complained angrily that, while the company was paying no common dividends, Jarman's salary had been raised by $105,000 a year...
...broadness of the market's recent advance. Investors are showing increasing interest in a wide range of stocks of smaller companies in residential building, home-furnishings and semiconductor equipment. Until fairly recently, such secondary stocks were largely overlooked despite their attractively low price-earnings ratios and relatively high dividend yields. One result of this buying surge: price gains in the general market have outdistanced the Dow's blue-chip index. So far this year, the Dow has advanced 15%. The index of all stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (roughly 1,550) has gone...
