...really important revolution in economics, Moynihan said, is that "we have finally learned how to make an industrial economy work."

...longest, bitterest and most expensive trials in business history, a California jury had watched a battle between a $700 million corporation and an ex-employee for 97 days of court sessions.

...Iranian port of Naushahr, a 4,000-ton Soviet vessel will begin loading for a 4,300-mile voyage to Hamburg, Germany, over a new inland waterway that stretches from the Caspian Sea to the Baltic, ranks as one of the world's longest waterways. The route will cut the average shipping time from Iran to Germany from 50 to 25 days. It will slice 2,700 miles from the previous circuitous route, which took ships through the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf...
