Nowadays, most big corporations are half buried under an avalanche of paper, and expand their records at the average rate of an additional file drawer each year for every employee. A home office, top-heavy with accounting-department records, may be cluttered with 35,000 file drawers that cost $50 a year apiece to maintain. To cut down this paper proliferation, a new kind of specialist - the corporate archivist-has turned up. Largest of these archivists is Manhattan's Leahy Archives, which maintains five storage centers...

The best grounds for optimism is that failure would cost everyone-including France-so dearly...

At a press conference after the stockholders' meeting, Banker Semenenko hinted at Curtis plans to expand into book publishing, television broadcasting, and perhaps in other directions. "It will be advantageous," he said, "for Curtis to acquire such companies." Nor did he rule out the possibility that other companies might find it equally advantageous to buy into Curtis.
