...whom spoke enough English to communicate with their bewildered client, one of whom is now a fugitive facing embezzlement charges.

...gasoline competition anywhere, Jersey Standard's Esso, the country's second biggest marketer after Germany's Aral, has been fighting for the top spot since last spring in a price-cutting war that may cost the companies $125 million in lost revenues this year. On the tire front, Goodyear will start building a $14 million factory this month near Heidelberg to boost its 7% share of the market and keep up with B.F.
