...company thrives, ESOP participants can grow a nest egg far beyond the means of most wage earners. At Quad/Graphics, which prints hundreds of catalogs and magazines, including a regional edition of TIME, the value of ESOP shares has risen from 6 cents in 1975 to $5 currently. The company's 3,500 workers own 18% of its stock, with the prospect of eventually acquiring an additional 12%. In the case of Stone Construction Equipment, a small firm in Honeoye, N.Y., company heir Alan Stone no longer wanted to run the operation, so he sold it two years...
...integration into a unified market should be formal even if not complete; the result will be not only a powerful economic system but also a more potent political player. Similarly, some East European nations are likely to be spreading their economic wings and learning to fly from Moscow's nest, perhaps even as limited partners in the European Community...
Sontag doesn't own a TV, though she did rent one last month to please a houseguest. (Regarding it with the look of a bird that has found a meteor plunked in her nest, she shrugs, "I haven't turned it on yet.")

...network television, nothing adds up. The three networks are still scrapping with one another for ratings supremacy, but the days when they dominated the airwaves so thoroughly are just a Wonder Years memory.

Gone With the Wind is no longer available to the networks at all; rights to it are owned by Atlanta TV mogul Ted Turner, who used it to launch his new cable channel...
Dear John is just one of a slew of new shows that focus on not-so-swinging singles. Single dad James Naughton copes (tediously) with a teenage daughter in CBS's Raising Miranda, and Richard Mulligan mugs (insufferably) as a middle-aged widower in NBC's Empty Nest. Meanwhile, Kate Jackson reprises Diane Keaton's role as a Manhattan yuppie trying to juggle a baby and a high- pressure corporate job in NBC's Baby Boom. The pilot episode plays too much like a Reader's Digest version of the movie (both written by Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers...
