...GEICO's policies. State Farm had warned Wallach that it would carry out the agreement only if other insurers agreed to reinsure 34% of GEICO's policies by June 30. With State Farm out, it is now doubtful that other insurers can be persuaded to pump enough cash into GEICO to keep the company alive. GEICO directors are planning to offer 300,000 shares of senior preferred stock (which would have first priority on any future dividends) in case the $75 million convertible preferred issue does not sell, but who might want to buy the senior preferred...

He wore blue jeans, and as he loped through his plantings of grapes and sweet potatoes and peach trees, he was trailed by two of his three daughters, Betsy, 17, and Kathy, 13. He pointed out the old pump house, soundproofed with egg cartons, where his son Charlie practices with his rock band, called Pumphouse & Company. "I would never pick up and leave Georgia," he said.

Take the 3,000 miles across the country, and this week 2,000 bikers are doing exactly that. Instead of pumping along in the breakdown lane of some Cartesian interstate, they are savoring a cyclist's delight, a 4,250-mile route that meanders through two U.S. parks (Yellowstone and Grand Teton), five major historic sites, 25 national forests and just about every one-air-pump hamlet from Astoria, Ore., to Williamsburg...
developed by Dr. John de Normandie, who first analyzed the waters. He persuaded local authorities to brighten the town and drain some nearby marshes. His pump room is 40 feet long, and the baths can be refilled every five minutes. Philadelphia Physician Benjamin Rush recommends the treatment for "hysteria, palsy, epilepsy, certain stages of the gout, diseases of kidneys or bladder, all female obstructions [and] worms in children." Bristol is a market town on the Delaware River, about 20 miles northeast of Philadelphia, and the New York-Philadelphia stage (30 shillings) passes through daily except Sundays.
