Depending on how much damage has been done to other facilities, production could resume within six months after the end of hostilities, Kuwaiti officials say -- though it may be years before output reaches prewar levels. "They will not lose enough to threaten their reserves or their economy or the world oil market in the long term," said an American oil expert...

Last week GM's Saturn division said that trouble in fitting the car's doors and other exterior components, and in obtaining parts that meet strict quality standards, had limited production through Nov. 30 to 2,162 autos, one- third of the planned output. Saturn said it was correcting the problems, and expects to build 3,000 cars in December, still less than half the projected production rate...
