Like a windshield, a face shield is prone to fogging up or shattering. The shield's manufacturer, International Forums, Inc.--never a company to let fog grow on its masks--has solved those problems by treating the shield with polycarbonate for strength and with an anti-fog inner coating...
...elaborate main reception hall at Manila's Malacanang Palace, President Ferdinand E. Marcos, 68, looked frail but basically healthy as he greeted 52 U.S. business leaders and Time Inc. journalists traveling through Asia on a Time-sponsored Newstour. Speaking calmly and firmly, Marcos called Western reports that he was near death "really exaggerated." But he made selective use of facts and figures to dismiss the concerns of U.S. analysts, blandly promising an imminent upturn in the Philippine economy and a decline in the strength of Communist insurgents.

To clinch the deal Murdoch still needs approval from the Federal Communications Commission for his purchase of the TV stations. The agency's vote, scheduled for last week, was postponed because of protests from...
20th Century-Fox Chairman Barry Diller, Murdoch's man on the spot in Hollywood, readily admits that it is "a bit grand" to believe that the new Fox Inc. in the next few years could assemble a network comparable to ABC, CBS and NBC. Instead Fox intends to form a loose confederation and build the business gradually, first offering perhaps an hour of programming per night. Says one Fox executive: "When you get to the point of selling a few nights of programming a few years down the road, you're looking very much like a network." Concurs FCC Commissioner...
