He tried to refinance part of that debt last fall, but investors spurned his efforts. Ling scoffs at the doubters. "This is just the year to kick conglomerates," he says. He planned to sell off a small slice of Braniff, most of National Car Rental and perhaps a few other securities to raise all the funds that he said...
