...conglomerate in the 1960s, has been in an agonizing decline since 1981, the last year it made a profit. Now desperately short of cash after losing more than $1.5 billion, the company chose bankruptcy because it saw no prospect for a fast turnaround in the U.S. steel industry's epic slump. The company will operate in Chapter 11 for an estimated 1 1/2 to four years, shielded from creditors to whom it owes more than $4 billion, while it tries to overhaul its steel operations.

Across the farm belt last week, it was clear that another bumper crop is on the way. In Illinois, the corn is already seven feet high in spots and not close to topping out. Some corn is tasseling weeks ahead of schedule, and an early harvest is in prospect. Soybeans have also benefited from perfect weather; many plants are waist high and flowering ahead of time.

Unflagging support for SDI also dims the prospect for any agreement on nuclear testing. The Soviets have called for a total moratorium and have not detonated a nuclear device since August 1985. But some of the weapons envisioned by SDI require underground nuclear tests. The Pentagon argues that testing is needed to ensure the reliability of its arms stockpile. While...
...complained of skin itching, scaling and blistering. Ten subjects enrolled in the hair-growing tests have died, but their deaths, according to Upjohn, were not related to use of the lotion. However, no one knows the consequences of dabbing on the drug for 20 years or more--a realistic prospect, since hair stops growing when application stops...
