...clothing combine, after two court fights and a bitter exchange of public recriminations. Most often, the best defense is to reach for a friendlier hand. Battling a tender takeover by Texan Troy V. Post's Greatamerica Corp., an insurance-banking-airline combine, Cleveland's chemical and paint-making Glidden Co. last month hurriedly negotiated a merger with SCM Corp. On top of that, Glidden won a temporary court order blocking the tender, withdrawing that suit only after Greatamerica agreed to let Glidden buy back most of its own shares...
Given the cast of characters involved in the Seigler debacle, many Wall Streeters fear that hoodlums may be involved in some of the price riggings.

Students in a Beuys class are permitted to build, sculpt or paint literally anything, from kinetic doodads to studies of Beuys himself...
Deep in "Indian country," the Viet Cong's jungled heartland, a lone U.S. helicopter flapped furiously down on an abandoned dirt roadway. Even before the Huey hit the ground, its six passengers were out and running. Their faces streaked with camouflage paint, their black and green "tiger suits" blending into the foliage, their black-stocked M-16 automatic rifles at the ready, they faded swiftly into the perennial twilight of 80-ft. trees, impenetrable bamboo thickets, and tangles of thorn and "wait a minute" vines. This was "Lurp Team Two," a long-range reconnaissance patrol (LRRP) of the 173rd...
