...Relations. In the past year, the P.L.O. also obtained observer status at the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization session in Rome and was admitted as a full member to the meeting of nonaligned nations in Lima, although it failed to persuade that group to call for Israel's expulsion from the U.N.

Says Borschette: "I think it would be better for us to have three or four medium-sized companies in real competition [in each major market] than to have...
