...modest wage increase of 3% for factory and office workers and 4.6% for collective farmers. Nevertheless, Baibakov boasted that in comparison with 15 years ago, "every 100 families in 1970 will have 71 radios as against 61, 52 washing machines as against 21, and 32 refrigerators instead of only eleven."

Evidently fearing similar treatment, Silvera and Sanjur decided to move first. With Torrijos out of town, they summoned the puppet provisional President, Colonel José Pinilla, and his Vice...
...preparing for bar exams. After he passed, he decided to become a banker rather than a lawyer. He rose rapidly through a succession of lending jobs, many of them involving the financing of corporate mergers and takeovers. Clausen owes his big promotion partly to the fact that he is eleven years younger than his chief rival, Executive Vice President Clarence Baumhefner. The bank has been moving up young executives fast, a trend that Clausen has helped to further. Though he usually lunches with customers, he saves a couple of lunches a month to become better acquainted with younger managers...
