...that traded on the New York Stock Exchange in a week. Worse, the system has begun to bleed Italy of funds that the country needs at home. During the first six months of this year, some $1.5 billion in capital went abroad in search of more profitable ventures.

...book keeping fluke. Americans have been making large deposits of dollars in Eu rope, where they have commanded interest rates as high as 12.5%. U.S. banks, pinched for funds, have borrowed many of these dollars to re-lend in the U.S. These "turnaround" dollars count as a capital outflow when deposited in Europe, but do not count as an off setting inflow when re-loaned in the U.S. Government economists say this distortion may have accounted for $2 billion of the $5.5 billion first half pay ments deficit...

The blow-by, developed by G.M., costs the consumer from $5 to $10. It has been used on a royalty-free basis on all cars, starting with 1963 models. According to the Justice Department, the automakers could have installed the blow-by connectors a year earlier but agreed among them selves on a delay...
