The shutdown was the first of three consecutive Wednesday closings to be followed by a similar non-trading day on Friday, July...
Studying cash salaries and bonuses paid in Britain and five of the Common Market nations, the U.S. management-consultant firm of Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby found that, over the past eight years, British executives have slipped from fifth to last place in the pay scale. French and Italian executives now rank at the top, ahead of Germans (who were No. 1 in 1960), Belgians and the Dutch, who happily yielded the cellar to the British...
