Ford, though its market share fell, could take comfort from the way it came through a strike by the U.A.W. that choked off its production completely for four weeks in September and October,'at the start of the 1977-model run. The walkout cost sales of perhaps 200,000 cars-yet Ford's 1976 volume still rose by almost 14%, to 2,256,000 autos. The company's strategy has been to put an almost equal marketing push behind restyled intermediate-size cars and standard-size cars, and they sold almost equally well. The boxy Granada compact...

Then the big international oil companies will have sold off the huge stockpiles of oil that they bought in anticipation of an OPEC increase, and will begin scrambling to buy more. Exxon has stated that it intends to market more low-priced Saudi oil in the West and will refine much of it in its huge complex on the island of Aruba, off the coast of Venezuela, which until now has processed local crude almost exclusively.

But they charge the agency with poor planning and management, unnecessary delays, opting for shortcuts in evaluating pesticides and making misleading statements to Congress and the public...
Women, who dominated the screens in the '30s and '40s, still make Hollywood a little nervous, however. "It has yet to be proven that there's a market for strong female roles," says Paramount Executive Richard Sylbert. "Traditionally, women go to the movies to see Robert Redford and Paul Newman. But maybe times are changing." Producer Dan Melnick takes a somewhat more optimistic view: "If a few of these pictures do very well at the box office, we may rediscover the 1940s all over again...
