...Arkansas. Since new laws allowed S&Ls extraordinary latitude in making loans with their federally insured deposits, McDougal began buying more land and building developments. He also renamed the S&L, once again turning to a favorite President for inspiration: Woodruff became Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan. He opened a flagship office in Little Rock and began seeing the Clintons socially again (Bill had won back the Governor's job in 1982). Thus McDougal happily agreed to hold a fund raiser for Bill at his S&L in April 1985. The event raised...
...division, and only their truck division continues to do well." Expect just the opposite when Ford's earnings are released Wednesday, McWhirter says. "Their truck division is setting new sales records, but their earnings should be way down." One reason: the expensive redesign of the Taurus, the company's flagship car, produced an auto that many admired but few wanted to pay for.

...played the instrument of TIME with panache, style and virtuosity. In his three years at the helm of our flagship, Gaines has given TIME both energy and purpose, and his keen nose for news and for talent have made a great magazine even greater.

But Perot's United We Stand America disputes the figure. "We are now over 50,000, and we are surging ahead rapidly," executive director Russ Verney told the Associated Press. "Fifty thousand is a hard and fast figure. We photocopied those...
...another. In the latest, activists sailed into the waters off Mururoa atoll early last month in a futile effort to get the French to halt resumption of nuclear-test blasts in the Pacific. But the protesters blundered into a trap, allowing the French navy to seize two vessels--the flagship Rainbow Warrior II and, more significantly, the group's largest support ship, MV Greenpeace. French authorities impounded a third protest vessel a few days before setting off a second atomic blast last week. In the wake of the seizures and the resulting public squabbling among Greenpeace leaders, top officials forced...
