That Uncertain Feeling. One way that Goodrich management found to improve performance was to thin out the 18,000 executive, professional and other white-collar personnel by attrition, early retirement and outright firings in Akron.

Morocco, France and the U.S. sent helicopters that brought food and medical personnel to isolated areas and flew stranded families out. The U.S. also allotted nearly $1,000,000 and West Germany $2,500,000 in loans and grants.

Russia dispatched $20,000 worth of blankets, food and medicine and a message of sympathy...
