Some 1999 models shape up as virtual bet-your-company gambles. General Motors has sunk more than $3 billion into its new Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck to appeal to suburbanites who want cargo capacity and a rugged look without any loss of creature comforts. GM put its money under the hood and into the transmission with the aim of creating a quiet ride and responsive handling both on and off the road. To recoup its investment, the company hopes for Silverado sales totaling $14 billion--a sum equal to Microsoft's revenues for all of fiscal 1998--in the next...

Neil Bush became a national symbol of the S&L debacle in 1988 when he served on the board of the Silverado Banking, Savings & Loan Association, a Denver thrift that went bankrupt and then cost taxpayers $1 billion to recapitalize. Silverado's problems had worsened after Neil Bush and other directors approved bad loans to a businessman who had invested in Neil's oil-exploration firm. The inexperienced 30-year-old should...
