...difficulty of get ting petrochemicals from Japan, and others have shut down completely. That hurts especially because Korean textile and plastics plants, which also use petrochemicals, produce largely for sale abroad. A cut in exports is about the last thing that the Korean economy, already groaning under a heavy load of foreign debt, can afford...
...Thurgood Marshall. The three also pointed out that the decision could lead to more individual suits in the state and federal courts where previously one collective proceeding would have covered a specific issue. But the majority apparently believes that tough standards will at least cut the federal work load. Consumer and environmental advocates fear that the new decision is a chill wind for class actions. Said Bill Butler, Washington counsel for the Environmental Defense Fund: "It's a severe blow to the unorganized, ad hoc groups that want action on particular offenses." Certain kinds of class actions, such...
...Interest Load. The problem, briefly, is debt. Lockheed owes $600 million to banks, $200 million of which is covered by the Government loan guarantee, and $100 million to the Defense Department as reimbursement for C-5A cost overruns, due in ten annual installments beginning in 1974. In addition, it must keep up interest payments on, and perhaps eventually redeem, $138 million in convertible debentures. Interest payments on all its varied debts are running around $80 million a year...
That seemed a bearable load, with the TriStar flying and getting high ratings from airline executives-until the fuel shortage hit. Faced with sharp curtailments in jet-fuel supplies, airlines have canceled hundreds of flights and delayed orders for aircraft. Lockheed had expected to collect around $ 150 million in cash in 1974, as final payment on deliveries of nine TriStars to Eastern Air Lines; now the deliveries, and payments, have been postponed until 1975 and 1976. Pacific Southwest Airlines is taking a four-month delay on two more TriStars (price: $20 million each). On top of that, Japan...
...going 50 to 55 m.p.h. than when doing 70. The real issue in the cabs is not fuel economy but money in the wallet. Most hired drivers are paid by the mile, not the hour; the 400,000 who pilot their own rigs must try to haul as many loads as possible in a week. Averaging 55 rather than 70, they can cover 150 fewer miles in a ten-hour driving day; at 16? a mile, that translates to $24 less every working day for a hired driver and, at 40? a mile, $60 less each day for an owner...
