...over two cookie jars and a pair of salt and pepper shakers in the form of a black chef and his wife. The final bid: $23,100 for a lot whose value Sotheby's had estimated at $100 to $150. "Spiritually, they are just wonderful," gushed Maria Olivia Judelson, wife of the victor. If so, then Cuban-born Businessman Gedalio Grinberg was truly exalted. He bought 136 of the cookie jars for a total of $198,605. "I wanted something from Andy," he shrugged...
Davis has likewise chopped away at the company's work force, reducing it by about 10,000, to 47,000. Two weeks ago, 35 managers were dropped. An earlier casualty was David Judelson, Gulf & Western's president, who was passed over for Bluhdorn's job and resigned. Judelson had overseen the disastrous multimillion-dollar investment in developing batteries for an electric car that made a splashy debut in June 1980 but then dimmed...
...imports of OPEC oil, and with cleaner air high on Washington's list of priorities, the electric vehicle, or EV for short, is the focus of increasing scientific and marketing attention. The EVs reincarnation could profoundly affect how Americans get around in the next century. David N. ("Jim") Judelson, G & W's president, is positively electrified by the potential. Says he: "We have an alternative here that's viable. We don't have to keep burning our resources into the air, and we don't have to keep paying the Arabs $31 a barrel...
...high hopes for the zinc-chloride system. "Its importance may well be equal to the development of the internal-combustion engine as it replaced the horse and buggy," says Judelson. In about nine months, G&W plans to have two prototype cars built, each with a range of 200 miles between charges. Fiddling with the chemistry could increase the range even more, he adds, with no increase in the system's weight of 544 kg (1,200 Ibs.). G&W calculates operating costs at 2.3? a mile for its Electric Engine, vs. 6.5? for a gasoline-powered equivalent...
Though it will require a major-some would say monumental-change in Americans' attitudes about their automobiles, Judelson foresees a vast potential market for EVs, especially as second, essentially commuting, cars. By the turn of the century, Judelson projects electric-car production of 6.6 million vehicles a year, about 40% of the total. If so, then EVs would regain the prominence they had at the turn of the century, when nearly 40% of all cars were electric. Detroit's experienced carmakers, on the other hand, obviously do not think the market is that big, but Detroit has been...
