...where Murphy's math is. It will spend more than $4 billion this year, increasing to $5 billion in 1980, to expand and modernize.

But they would invest much more-particularly in the U.S. stock market, which is undervalued and could use the lift from abroad-if the dollar showed signs of recovery. So long...
...South Africa. The University of Wisconsin has been advised by the state attorney general to sell $9 million worth of holdings in companies with South African subsidiaries, as well as stock in any firms with Saudi Arabian and Soviet connections. The reason: state law forbids any state agency to invest in companies that discriminate...
