...bankruptcy filing is a supreme irony since Texaco would be in robust financial health if it had never tangled with Pennzoil. In the U.S. alone, Texaco has 1.7 billion bbl. of oil reserves, worth $9.6 billion, and 5.l trillion cu. ft. of natural gas with a value of $3.l billion. Before last week, Wall Street analysts had projected Texaco's profits to be more than $650 million for this year and nearly $790 million...
...proposed acquisition will not shake up the rankings in the $230 billion- a-year U.S. auto industry. For increasingly robust Chrysler (1986 profits of $1.4 billion on sales of $22.6 billion), the deal would merely add AMC's piddling .7% car market share to the bigger firm's 10.3%.

...especially from the U.S. In Manila, more than one in every two people does not have a full-time job, and in the countryside, four children in every five are suffering from malnutrition. Real wages are no higher than in 1972, and the economy will have to sustain a robust 6% annual growth rate for six straight years just to get back to where...
