...deterioration. Harvard has embarked upon a comprehensive $7 million overhaul of the stadium which will actually leave the football fortress unchanged architecturally. The traditional and incomparably uncomfortable concrete seats have all been removed, but they are being replaced rapidly by new and equally rock-hard concrete. In addition, new steel beams and freshly painted seat numbers will complement the work now being done by mammoth cranes, which dangle the cement tonnage far above the field and then gently drop each segment into place...
...number of states, and in private and community hospitals, efforts are under way to curb costs as much as possible. At the Nashville-based Hospital Corporation of America, which operates some 360 hospitals across the U.S., officials now cut costs by buying everything from adhesive bandages to building steel in train-and truckload bulk quantities. For H.C.A.'s average 200-bed hospital, that means annual savings of $400,000 to $500,000 in operating costs...
...Yanbu, which is under construction 700 miles to the southwest on the Red Sea, represent an Ozyman-dian-scale hedge by Saudi Arabia against the eventual depletion in 65 years of its 165 billion bbl. of proven crude oil reserves. The cities, replete with petrochemical complexes, refineries, a steel mill and smaller secondary industries by the dozen, will be counted on to help keep the Saudi economy vibrant and the country's small but rapidly growing population employed and enjoying a rising living standard far into the 21st century...
...automated petrochemical plants near the oilfields to process and use the wasted gases. The fuel could be used not only to provide raw material for the development of a new petrochemical industry, but also supply the energy to process and manufacture products ranging from plastics and fertilizers to steel and aluminum. The King agreed. The Bechtel firm produced a master plan for the project, and in 1976 was chosen as construction manager...
Currently under construction in Jubail's industrial park are a $1 billion oil refinery, a $300 million petrochemical plant, a $2 billion polyethylene project, a $4 billion industrial chemicals plant, a $600 million iron and steel complex, and a $360 million plant to produce fertilizer pellets. In most of those industries, worldwide production gluts already abound, though a pickup in the global economy would help stimulate demand at least somewhat in consuming countries. Mean while, however, the Saudis have already been forced to cancel plans for a 225,000-ton-per-year aluminum smelter, and additional retrenchment may eventually...
