...billion a year to the Third World's already crushing debt. In Paris, European moneymen lashed out at rising U.S. borrowing costs. On both sides of the Atlantic last week, such concerns were sending shock waves through the money world. Said Bank Analyst Stephen Berman of L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin: "The U.S. banking system is suffering from a crisis of confidence...
Every year since 1945, Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, one of the world's greatest wines, has enhanced its name by decorating its labels with the work of the greatest artists of the time, from Picasso to Chagall. A number of smaller American vineyards have now taken label decoration a step further: emphasizing the artwork over the maker's name. Styles include art nouveau, abstract and realistic; at least one vineyard is putting photography on labels. Zaca Mesa uses several styles, clothing some of its varietals with twin panels of golden oaks and distant hills. Says Ream...

Cray has since sold an additional $63 million worth of stock through Rothschild-led syndicates and generated $500,000 in additional fees for Unterberg's firm...
Educated at Deerfield Academy, a Massachusetts prep school, and Princeton University, Unterberg was bred to be an investment banker. In 1931 his father co-founded C.E. Unterberg, Towbin, which merged with L.F. Rothschild in 1977. In an office with a view of the Brooklyn Bridge, Unterberg sits at the same solid-oak desk his father used. Though he is worth more than $10 million, Unterberg and his wife choose to live in the same two-bedroom apartment they bought for $70,000 when they were married 22 years ago. Unterberg marvels at the thought that he helps make multimillionaires...
