...next day's paper), when the management of the attacked company is unready to hit back. "The first I heard of this raid was at my golf club," spluttered President Dwight M. Cochran of Kern County Land Co. after Occidental Petroleum's bitterly contested two-step offer last month to buy 23% of his asset-laden oil and farming firm. With such tactics, a group of Detroit financiers led by Donald H. Parsons, 36, has taken over five Michigan banks in the past year and forced American Metal Products into a merger with Lear-Siegler. Last week...
...pickled papaya and coconut punch laced with rum. When the band struck up Hello, Dolly!, the President loped out onto the marble floor with Imelda while guests scrambled atop chairs and tables for a better view. Alone, the couple danced through one chorus, Lyndon lumbering around in his Texas two-step, Imelda crooning the words to him. Still alone, they danced to a second chorus.

...lower-level Gen Ed course, as all students presently must de, or by taking first a lower-level departmental course and then an upper-level Gen Ed course. Not included in the legislation but, according to Edward Wilcox, "the sense of the CEP," is the idea that such a two-step requirement would have to be a sequence of courses, that a student would be asked to take first, say, Economics 1, and then an upper level Gen Ed course which had Ec 1 as a prerequisite...
...two-step requirement in Humanities and Social Sciences is equally sensible. It is true that the introductory departmental course will not in every case provide background for the upper-level General Education course. A student may be no better prepared for Social Sciences 139, "The Life Cycle," after passing Economics 1. But the prerequisite does insure that students will get a relatively broad view of an area, which an upper-level course alone might not provide. A student who has taken Economics 1 and Social Sciences 139 (plays presumably another half course in Social Sciences) has had a good general...
