...inflation has frightened many foreigners into dumping dollars before they lose more purchasing power, but for the moment at least inflation has stopped getting worse; wholesale prices have risen more slowly this summer than they did last spring and winter. And the U.S. economy is strong enough to attract a flood of direct investment in factories and real estate from the very countries whose citizens are also dumping dollars...
...occupies a striking tower, shaped like an inverted pyramid, that has helped to transform a once decaying downtown section. Champion International's offices in the 21-story Landmark Tower overlook buildings forming a complex that includes a sunken plaza used for tennis in the summer, skating in the winter. Continental Oil, Xerox, Texasgulf and General Signal are in High Ridge Park, which, with six modern buildings set on 40 acres of lawns and woodlands, is an archetypal corporate "campus...

Indeed, if it had not occurred, the U.S. would have been in a desperate inflationary jam: wholesale prices of other finished goods continued to jump at double-digit rates. At best, chances have only improved for holding consumer-price increases for the year to no more than the 7.2% that the Administration forecast. Says Alan Greenspan, a member...
