...Under Law in Washington, says that Detroit is representative of the type of case that will suffer without access to the center's resources.

A graduate of Yale and the Harvard Business School, Heinz is a moderate who has fought with the Administration to end U.S. involvement in Viet...
West German banking authorities suddenly and dramatically revoked Herstatt's license to do business; they also locked its doors. The news caused hundreds of angry, shouting depositors to mill round the bank's headquarters, trying to find out if they could get any of their savings back. Police with bullhorns managed to calm them but could not answer the question. Germany has no equivalent of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures bank deposits in the U.S. On the West German stock exchanges, jittery investors bid share prices of banks and insurance companies down to seven-year lows...
