...proposals to be announced next week would only worsen the situation. Students of all economic backgrounds would have to seek higher-interest loans; those who most need federal assistance to overcome long-standing disadvantages would be locked out of the classroom and laboratory.

...firm's fortunes are continuing to worsen. Daily sales dwindled to only 286 cars during the first ten days of the year, compared with the already depressed level of 350 a year ago. The drop in AMC's sales for all of 1981 was the sharpest of any American carmaker...
