...United sale was the second billion-dollar deal for Boeing in less than a month. Three weeks ago, the Seattle aircraft manufacturer received a $2 billion order from Northwest for a fleet of ten 747s and ten 757s. At least some of those jumbo jets will be used to compete with United in the lucrative transpacific market, where Northwest currently reigns among U.S. carriers...
...stupid things like not seeing a doctor just to get a TV or microwave oven." But, he adds, there is no evidence that this has happened. The incentive chase may also induce some stress of its own. At Scherer, a worker who has not been late or absent for ten years wins a fortnight for two in Florida. One employee now in his sixth year of perfect service, says Scherer, "tells me that about twice a year he jumps out of bed in a panic in the middle of the night afraid he has missed his alarm clock...
...perennial challenge for network programmers. But their efforts have taken on more urgency this fall as a number of long-running hits have begun to sag in the ratings. Dynasty and Dallas, which finished one-two in last year's Nielsens, have slipped to the middle of the top-ten pack.

Americans used to be interested in knowing everything about a foreign cuisine at once: the food of France, or Italian cooking for all occasions. No longer. Authors must now come in closer on highly specialized dishes or on more obscure corners of the world. Herewith...
Such detail must seem irrelevant to Director Taylor Hackford; he knows that White Nights will be a hit only if it is seen as an extended music and dance video. With ingenious duplicity, Hackford has worked ten new pop tunes, by Phil Collins and Lionel Richie, among others, into a ballet film set in the U.S.S.R. He has also had the inspiration, radical by the standards of recent musicals, to keep his dancers' feet in the film frame, and to hold a shot long enough to anchor the loping rhythms of Choreographer Twyla Tharp. Hines taps and boogies--and acts...
