...were waiting for shipment at Dar. Shipping delays and subsequent storage charges have seriously hurt Zambia's mining industry, which is already suffering from the effects of low copper prices. Unless it can get government-allocated foreign exchange to buy new mining equipment, the industry may suffer a loss of up to $100 million this year...

...year, the stricken automaker may have to close its doors. Two months ago, Chairman John Riccardo was telling legislators that the company would need some federal assistance by early next year, but last week's long awaited announcement of the company's $207 million second-quarter loss has compressed that timetable. A shutdown of the nation's tenth largest manufacturer (1978 sales: $13.6 billion) and sizable defense contractor ($625 million in 1978) would have far-reaching consequences. It would leave the U.S. auto industry basically in the hands of General Motors and Ford, throw 130,000 employees...

His speech, however, is erratic; and his discourse (in a harpy's disguise) to the villainous nobles is an almost total loss. In "Come unto these yellow sands," "Full fathom five," and "Where the bee sucks" Ariel has three of Shakespeare's loveliest lyrics; but Morris' supporting vocalists cannot hide the fact that Dooley is simply no singer. The yardstick for the role remains Clayton Corzatte--who moved, spoke and sang...
