...Delaware. Says Ofstie: "We understand the reasons why Texaco went into Chapter 11. But we're an income-oriented investment company, and Texaco doesn't have a yield anymore. That's a problem we can't ignore." As time passes, Wall Street analysts expect that big investors will steadily dump millions of Texaco shares onto the market...
...river's problems begin in the boomtown of Mexicali, which since 1970 has more than doubled its size, to an estimated population of 1 million. There, an overburdened sewerage system dumps millions of gallons of raw waste daily into the 30-ft.-wide stream. Other contaminants are added to the stew as the river continues northward, churning through a garbage dump, past cattle feedlots and dairies, and within yards of ramshackle slums. On the edges of town, such classic polluters as food-processing and chemical plants dump ! organic wastes, pesticides, solvents and other chemicals into slime-filled ditches that drain...

Washington finally conducted an investigation and satisfied itself that dumping had taken place. The Administration's preliminary...
There is a big pond on the infield of the Pompano Harness Track, and that is where Steinbrenner threatened to "dump the little guinea bastard," as he referred to Cassini, if the designer dared get in his way during the race. Steinbrenner was miffed because Cassini, who was once Jacqueline Kennedy's White House couturier, had been given the favored, inside rail position to start that race, probably in deference to his age. Cassini is 73 years old. He is a charming little man who looks like he weighs about 110 lbs., and who has aged gracefully...
