...publicize are striking enough. The principal one is that companies no longer have to draw up written affirmative action plans unless they have at least 250 employees and Government contracts worth $1 million a year. Formerly, the standard had been 50 employees and $50,000 in Government contracts. The employers who will be exempted constitute 75% of the 200,000 companies that now do some kind of federally paid work, but employ only about 25% of the 30 million workers on federal projects...
...watery fastness. In April he announced a new venture, the Enterprise Development Corp., owned by a nonprofit organization, the Enterprise Foundation. The most ambitious Enterprise enterprise to date is a $13.5 million program to spruce up Norfolk's dreary waterfront.

And why does he employ location shots for a meaningless wrestling match (featuring a performer who bears an admirable resemblance to that titan of professional wrestling. George "The Animal" Steele). Escape could just as well take place in St. Louis...
...recovering economy and a boom in defense orders could create the biggest industrial-demand crunch we've seen since 1941." Though the skills squeeze is hitting just about every sector of industry, the most worrisome shortages are looming in the machine-tool trades. Nearly all big manufacturing firms employ skilled people who work with metal. But, more and more, large firms have come to rely on specialty firms as subcontractors for their metalworking needs...
