...COMPETITIVE WORLD," ACKNOWLEDGED David Rowland, chairman of Lloyd's of London, "we have performed very poorly." That was hardly news for the nearly 20,000 "Names," Lloyd's investors who in some instances have lost fortunes as the 300-year-old insurance firm bled $9.4 billion in red ink over a four- year period. Losses for 1990, to be reported in June, could be a record $4.4 billion. What was news was the unveiling of Lloyd's first ever business plan -- a 70-page overhaul designed to attract new investors and allow companies, starting next year, to become members...
...treats can long stand without effective enforcement. To that end, the Harvard community must be prepared to take actions against violators commensurate with the sanctions the international community levies against nations which flout nuclear and chemical weapons proliferation treaties. We must blockade all shipments of ink and paper to renegade publications. We must boycott shows put on in violation of the treaty.

So give him that, and praise him as well for keeping faith with his basic philosophy, his insistence that current consumption be sacrificed for future investment if the nation is to prosper in the global marketplace. Clinton...
...President makes a sound case that America's budgetary red ink in the long run will drown all hope of economic progress. To about 230 businessmen invited last Wednesday to the White House, Clinton gave some dire predictions about the U.S. "Ten years from now, if we don't change present policies": budget deficits exceeding $650 billion a year, or more than double even today's bloated figures; and a national debt equal to 78% of the country's total output of goods and services. But to many people that might seem a rather dry statistical apocalypse and not exactly...
