...since January 1974. Acquisitions by well-known companies in recent months include Pillsbury Co.'s purchase of the 113 Steak & Ale restaurants; W.R. Grace's acquisition of Sheplers Inc., a clothing store; Colgate Palmolive's buy-out of Charles A. Eaton Co., a golf-and tennis-shoe producer; and H.J. Heinz Co.'s takeover of Melloday Lane Foods Corp...
...Kelley--as if to say, 'My integrity hasn't been compromised by the director's willingness to open the doors.' He gives two theories about Kelley, each of which the director is likely to find uncomplimentary.

In one safety-shoe case, lawyers wrangled over the word extremity; did it mean toes, the entire foot or the foot and ankle? Such procedures consume vast quantities of time and money, even when OSHA has no case at all. One airline was cited for noise violations, only to prove after days of investigation that OSHA'S inspector had read his decibel meter incorrectly...
