...appears, hiring reliable independent analysts to study them if the star has no expertise in the subject. Following those rules might be easy enough for Farrah Fawcett-Majors; any independent analyst would confirm that she looks ravishing wearing Fabergé cosmetics. But can O.J. Simpson really be sure that Hertz makes rental cars available as quickly as he says in those airports he hurdles through...
...prize for clinical medical research went to Dr. Inge G. Edler, chief of cardiology at University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, and Biophysicist C. Hellmuth Hertz of the Lund Institute of Technology.

Echocardiography can, for example, measure heart-muscle thickness, detect valve abnormalities and even show...

The company is planning to sell Cushman & Wakefield, Inc., a commercial real estate subsidiary that it had acquired under Sarnoff, and is closing two unprofitable electronics plants. RCA's profits from telecommunications and its Hertz car-rental subsidiary have been healthy. Investors seem to be cautiously optimistic about the new RCA management, headed by President Anthony L. Conrad. RCA stock, which was selling at $18.50 last November, was up to $24.875 a share at week...
