Ford last month jacked up prices on all its big cars, including its fast-selling Thunderbirds (by $128) and behemoth Lincolns (by $267). To encourage small-car sales, Ford left intact the prices on its fuel-efficient but slow-selling Pintos and Bobcats...
...actors cannot succeed in movies. John Travolta has apparently smashed that rule to jam. "The thing always was that people wouldn't pay $4 to see what they could see on television," says Agent Michael Black. "It's not true any more." Another rule still seems intact, though: today's audiences will not step into a theater simply to see a star.

The club will supply her with a bouquet of roses and either she or her sponsors will provide at least two male escorts, dressed in tails, so she can dance away every minute...
