...Clutch. Hockey players are considered old at 30. At 37, the Rocket is admittedly past his peak; yet he has still managed 14 goals and 19 assists this season to tie for third place in the scoring standings. No one in the league is close to his career marks for goals (603); only Detroit's Gordie Howe can approach his mark for total points (Richard 1,047, Howe 942).

President Kappel, who will add $2 billion to the $2.2 billion he laid out last year: "When the recession came along, we had to decide whether to trim capital expenditures as in past recessions. We felt sure that renewed growth was coming, so instead of cutting down drastically-which would only mean having to race the motor later to catch up-we went ahead and proceeded to build quite a lot of useful margin into our plant...
...flight from the dollar. While exaggerated, the talk underlined the fact that foreign companies are engaged in a vast modernization program, which, with lower labor costs, will give them a double advantage on world markets.
