...market for efficient, very high mileage compacts and subcompacts for the mid- to late 1980s, but Volkswagenwerk of Wolfsburg, West Germany, is quickly pulling ahead. Having largely phased out its venerable Beetle profile of the 1950s and 1960s for the engineering improvements and angular lines of the bestselling Rabbit in the 1970s, the company is now at work on the aerodynamically sleek silhouette of a new subcompact four-seater design that looks more like a Gucci slipper than...
When SAMA was founded in 1952, its headquarters was a rabbit warren of small buildings near the old Jidda airport. Decision making rested largely with foreigners. The bank's first governor was an American, and as late as 1974, at the time of the first big surge in OPEC oil prices, SAMA was headed by a Pakistani...

He brought a mule into the ballpark as a mascot, installed a mechanical rabbit to bring baseballs to the umpire. He gave the game the garish doubleknit uniforms that became commonplace. He harassed his managers by telephoning strategy to the dugout, yet installed a 16-year-old fan as vice president. For all his buffoonery, Finley was as shrewd a judge of talent as any in the sport since Branch Rickey. Roll the names over...
