...subject, Miller's views are not only clear but almost fanatic: he is an aggressive nonsmoker. He has peppered Textron's office with NO SMOKING signs and banned tobacco at management meetings and aboard the company's aircraft. After eight years of Arthur Burns' perpetually puffing pipe, the change may come as something of a shock to Federal Reserve staffers accustomed to lighting up in front of the boss. Says a Providence banker who is close to Miller: "When he gets down to Washington, he will probably fumigate the building...
...some question whether even these increases serve the industry's own best interests. The Administration is now engaged in setting "reference" (minimum) prices for imported steel, which has captured 20% of the American market in recent months. Any foreign metal sold below the reference prices would automatically be subject to a heavy tariff. The reference prices probably will be pegged to the cost of producing and transporting Japanese steel. The aim is to stop foreign "dumping" of steel (that is, selling of imported metal below cost) and to bring import prices close to the U.S. price level. But by some...

In 1976 the company sold its Air-temp air-conditioning division to Fedders for $47 million; the sale has now become the subject of lawsuits. Last month the real estate division sold several shopping centers, a hotel and some office buildings for $50 million...
...Wexler loads the script with a series of stagy and unconvincing plot incidents: a suicide, a gang rumble, a gang bang. By the time Tony takes a soul-searching all-night subway ride to arrive at the story's bogus happy ending, the movie has thrown away its subject to lull us with sentimental bromides about Finding Oneself. We might as well be at Roseland...
