...modern standards, the federal debt is actually not growing very fast. In the past decade, while consumer debt has more than doubled and corporate debt has jumped 360%, Federal Government debt has gone up only 15%.

...picked a fiance with no private fortune. Son of an impoverished Prussian Junker, Von Amsberg worked his way through the University of Hamburg and up through the German Foreign Service to an administrative post in Bonn. Known to fellow diplomats as a Streber (go-getter), he is fond of fast cars-though an aging Porsche is all he can afford on a $400-a-month government salary.

By far the most important, however, are the fast-growing private pension funds (assets: $77 billion) and the nation's 500 mutual funds ($34 billion...
...assembly-line process instead of in single vats; other beer executives are watching to see if the process accounts for sizable labor saving. Coors Co. of Colorado is developing a vertical process in which it grows its own grain, makes its own cans and adds the beer on a fast production line. Another new possibility being studied: concentrated beer. Concentrates could be brewed in a central plant, shipped at much lower transportation cost to branches for reconstitution with water...
