...months the computer tapes of two of Europe's biggest business machine makers have been feeding back their information in red ink. The losses of both-Italy's Olivetti and France's Machines Bull-stem at least in part from U.S. competition. Now both companies have sought to program for profits by naming new presidents...
...Margret, who wriggles by the garage to coo: "I'd like you to check my motor." Once her motor turns over, it seldom stops.
