...that nightmare from taking place. However, it did occur. If I were to say that the change has had no damaging effect at all, that would be wrong. There are still people who feel hurt psychologically. The two weeks after Dec. 16 [however] were the most unstable period. The stock market dropped, and the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the New Taiwan dollar on the black market rose to NT $43 for $1. Domestic and foreign investors seemed to be reconsidering their investments. But it seems to us that since January the situation has improved...
...companies from takeovers and protecting inept managers from being tossed out. Kennedy-Metzenbaum, remarked Rohatyn, "could be called the Large and Inefficient Business Protection Bill." The way to reduce conglomerate mergers, he added, is to improve economic policy. Bringing down inflation would lead to lower interest rates and higher stock prices. Companies then would no longer have the opportunity to buy out firms at fire-sale prices. Meanwhile, corporations would have more incentive to expand on their own by investing in new plants and machines. The combination of those factors, said Rohatyn, would reduce the number of mergers...
...survivors never made it to Friday. Filipacchi turned the editorial and financial management of Look (arc. 650,000) over to Jann Wenner, 33, editor and publisher of Rolling Stone, the rock-music tabloid.

Filipacchi, who publishes Paris Match and eleven other French journals, will retain 51% ownership of the magazine (six French partners control the rest). Wenner will remain Rolling Stone's editor and publisher, assume those titles at Look, and merge the two publications...
...Corporation will again place profits above morality. If returns on investment diminish severely, the Corporation's response will probably be exactly that being urged upon today: it will divest, or vote for resolutions calling for withdrawal. The University community may suddenly find that the sale of $300 million in stock will not be as expensive as the cost of holding on to the shares. The Corporation will have no problem in depriving its investment managers of 400 corporations in which to invest. More moral, that is, more profitable investments will be found...
...emerged as one of few mathematical breakthroughs in recent times to arouse public interest. The controversy lies in its claim to have broadened the scope of science to include the social sciences and humanities, uniting such diverse phenomena as the collapse of a bridge, the crash of the stock market, and the fall of the Roman empire. Yet its subject is not always "catastrophic" in the literal sense: optical scattering, embryonic growth, prison riots, aggressive behavior in dogs, and the rise of the nouveau riche also fall within its domain...
