...raped, screams and no one comes?" asks Walton. Shadoan thinks the trend in tort law-toward no-fault auto, product liability and medical malpractice insurance-may block that next step. He points to Great Britain, where "if you get raped, you get medical care and a government payment. Damage suits will soon be a relic of the past." Many lawyers are betting it will never happen...
...lawyers' aim was to hold off A. & F.'s creditors and keep the doors open in hopes that the firm could reorganize before the traditionally busy Christmas shopping season. Weary of unpaid bills, many of A. & F.'s suppliers had already begun demanding payment in cash for goods shipped to the firm. To reassure its nervous bankers, Abercrombie's unpaid chairman, Harry G. Haskell Jr., a wealthy sportsman himself (yachting, hunting) and former mayor of Wilmington, Del., who is also A. & F.'s largest stockholder, brought in a corporate surgeon. He is Geoffrey Swaebe...

A GEICO crash would be costly to the company's 2.8 million policyholders in 25 states, who would lose some of the $660 million a year they have been paying GEICO in premiums, and to other insurers, who would have to take over payment of claims against GEICO. The company has lost $150 million since the start of 1975. Worse, Maximilian Wallach, Superintendent of Insurance in Washington, D.C., where GEICO is headquartered, seems to be failing in a rescue attempt...
