Aimed primarily at the disco set, Jordache jeans are selling in 3,000 stores in many parts of the country. Like the stallion, Jordache is running away with business...
Brazilian and U.S. experts, using the "miracle rice" imported from the Philippines, are developing the world's largest fields, which already cover some 7,900 acres. A big poultry farm is being set up, and experiments are under way to breed a more robust strain of water buffalo...
