Byrom despairs of the rigidities that prevent companies from allying to exploit technology and the economies of great size and cooperation. To remain competitive in the world, he says, U.S. steelmakers should be building modern plants with 10-million-ton capacity at deepwater ports. Since no one company can justify spending so much, the Government should allow several steelmakers to join in such projects. To stop the alarming erosion of America's capital base he contends, companies should be permitted to take their full depreciation allowances within one year-so long as they invest them all-instead of being...
...does have a firmly constructed approach--perhaps the solutions will come later. He has placed no time limits on how long he would like to be president, and under his guidance Yale seems to have the opportunity to get back on its feet. How Giamatti will manage to exploit his academic expertise is yet another question. He plans to return to the classroom in the near future, time permitting, but this tradeoff seems to be one of his most agonizing problems. It is not a purely selfish motivation--his students are his primary concern, but with all of Yale...
...often rate it substandard and lower the price. Afghan natural gas is piped over the border. The Russians have craftily installed the meters on their side and pay for the gas at about one-third the world price by bartering low-grade gasoline. New proposals are being discussed to exploit huge Afghan copper and fluorite deposits on terms that one international expert likens to those for Cuban sugar; such deals could tie Afghanistan irrevocably to the Soviet Union...
...major Western supplier of a variety of scarce resources such as copper, silver, lead and diamonds. U.S.-owned mining operations alone account for more than 40 percent of the foreign investment in the territory. In the past three years, the West had embarked on a campaign to exploit Namibia's uranium resources, which represent an estimated five per cent of the total world supply. Overall, the rate of exploitation of Namibia's mineral wealth has accelerated in recent years, leading many Namibian nationalists to charge that the multinationals, uncertain of what the political future holds for them, are mortgaging...
Nuclear fusion, which could exploit an unlimited fuel supply and promises little contamination of the environment, cannot fill the gap either. Researchers at Princeton and other labs have made some progress on fusion, in which atomic nuclei are combined rather than split. But physicists think it will take decades of problem solving before they can even attempt to build commercial reactors...
