WSJ900813-0157_0 | Documents Creation Time: <t397>08/13/90</t397> Iraq's Saddam Hussein, his options for <ei1127>ending</ei1127> the Persian Gulf <ei1128>crisis</ei1128> growing increasingly unpleasant, <ei1129>assumed</ei1129> the <ei1130>role</ei1130> of embattled Arab hero in <ei1131>offering</ei1131> his first rough <ei1132>proposal</ei1132> for a negotiated <ei1133>end</ei1133> to the <ei1134>confrontation</ei1134>.

He apparently <ei1144>hopes</ei1144> to <ei1145>lure</ei1145> <ei1146>support</ei1146> from Arabs who have <ei1147>spurned</ei1147> him so far by <ei1148>suggesting</ei1148> that Iraq will <ei1149>use</ei1149> its <ei1150>occupation</ei1150> of Kuwait as a lever to <ei1151>solve</ei1151> the Arab world's most frustrating <ei1152>problem</ei1152>, the 23-year Israeli <ei1153>occupation</ei1153> of land <ei1154>claimed</ei1154> by Palestinians.

The naval interdiction force is part of an overall American strategy that officials say is designed to leave the Iraqi leader with only the stark choice of backing out of Kuwait or launching new attacks to change his situation. Though they insist they are n't trying to lure Saddam Hussein into an attack, officials hope that if he strikes again, the U.S. and its allies will have such an impressive force in place in Saudi Arabia that they will be able to crush him in retaliation. | [

Iraq's first option, of course, may be simply to sit tight and hope it can endure a trade embargo longer than the West can live without Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil. <ei1217>Speaking</ei1217> on the ABC program, Abdul Amir al-Anbari, Iraq's ambassador to the U.N., <ei1218>asserted</ei1218> that an <ei1219>embargo</ei1219> on Iraq could <ei1220>plunge</ei1220> the U.S. into a "<ei1221>depression</ei1221>" and the rest of the world into an economic "<ei1222>crisis</ei1222>." Iraq clearly is <ei1223>trying</ei1223> to <ei1224>woo</ei1224> back more Arab <ei1225>support</ei1225> in case the <ei1226>conflict</ei1226> <ei1227>drags</ei1227> on, <ei1228>hoping</ei1228> that its neighbors eventually will <ei1229>help</ei1229> it <ei1230>survive</ei1230> a prolonged <ei1231>war</ei1231> of economic attrition with the West. So Saddam Hussein on <t443>Friday</t443> <ei1232>tried</ei1232> to <ei1233>scare</ei1233> other Arab leaders into <ei1234>supporting</ei1234> him by <ei1235>calling</ei1235> on Arabs to <ei1236>rise</ei1236> up in a holy <ei1237>war</ei1237> against leaders who <ei1238>invited</ei1238> American and other Western soldiers into Saudi Arabia to <ei1239>protect</ei1239> the oil-rich kingdom. | [

At that point, rather than <ei1259>go</ei1259> through the humiliation of <ei1260>backing</ei1260> out of Kuwait, the Iraqis might well <ei1261>conclude</ei1261> that they <ei1262>need</ei1262> to <ei1263>lash</ei1263> out in some way to <ei1264>shake</ei1264> things up.

WSJ900813-0157_10 | Documents Creation Time: <t397>08/13/90</t397> Two Middle East terrorists with records of successful attacks against Western targets, Abu Nidal and Abu Abbas, have ties to Baghdad. And even terrorist groups that opposed Iraq in its war with Iran show signs of swinging behind Saddam Hussein now that he is in a confrontation with the U.S. And Iraq still <ei1306>has</ei1306> thousands of Americans and other Westerners under its control in Iraq and Kuwait. They are n't being <ei1307>allowed</ei1307> to <ei1308>leave</ei1308> and could <ei1309>become</ei1309> hostages. If Iraq chooses a simple war of nerves and economic attrition, the Bush administration knows a long stalemate could try the patience of the American public and the West in general, and could open the possibility that moderate Arabs -- even including Saudi Arabia -- might drop out of the effort against Iraq and accept some deal from Saddam Hussein. But U.S. officials have <ei1310>sized</ei1310> up Saddam Hussein as a man who, despite some recklessness, will <ei1311>back</ei1311> down if he must. | [

"This is a guy who is impulsive, and therefore capable of big <ei1312>miscalculations</ei1312>," <ei1313>says</ei1313> one senior administration official <ei1314>involved</ei1314> in <ei1315>managing</ei1315> the <ei1316>crisis</ei1316>.

There are disagreements among experts about how much pressure will be needed to make Saddam Hussein decide he's up against the wall and whether simple economic pressure will ever be enough. The biggest worry is that if he decides he needs a way out of his predicament but does n't see a face-saving method, he could lash out in dangerous and unpredictable ways.

Analysts <ei2693>noted</ei2693> that over <t173>the past 20 years</t173>, Mr. Fournier has <ei2694>built</ei2694> his company through astute stock-market <ei2695>activity</ei2695> and has <ei2696>warded</ei2696> off at least three <ei2697>takeover</ei2697> <ei2698>attempts</ei2698>.

wsj_0810_3 | Documents Creation Time: <t152>10/27/89</t152> This time, however, some analysts <ei2699>think</ei2699> he could <ei2700>face</ei2700> a real <ei2701>battle</ei2701>. "Without some unexpected "<ei2702>coup</ei2702> de theatre", I do n't <ei2703>see</ei2703> what will <ei2704>block</ei2704> the Paribas <ei2705>bid</ei2705>," <ei2706>said</ei2706> Philippe de Cholet, analyst at the brokerage Cholet-Dupont amp Cie. Mr. de Cholet <ei2707>said</ei2707> Mr. Fournier's biggest <ei2708>hope</ei2708> was to somehow <ei2709>persuade</ei2709> regulatory authorities to <ei2710>block</ei2710> the <ei2711>bid</ei2711>. Paribas still needs the go-ahead from the Commission des Operations de Bourse, a government regulatory agency, but analysts <ei2712>said</ei2712> that is considered <ei2713>likely</ei2713>. Mr. Fournier also <ei2714>noted</ei2714> that Navigation Mixte <ei2715>joined</ei2715> Paribas's core of shareholders when Paribas was <ei2716>denationalized</ei2716> in <t1994>1987</t1994>, and <ei2717>said</ei2717> it <t1995>now</t1995> <ei2718>holds</ei2718> just under 5% of Paribas's shares. Once he <ei2719>realized</ei2719> that Paribas's intentions weren't <ei2720>friendly</ei2720>, he <ei2721>said</ei2721>, but before the <ei2722>bid</ei2722> was <ei2723>launched</ei2723>, he <ei2724>sought</ei2724> <ei2725>approval</ei2725> to <ei2726>boost</ei2726> his Paribas stake above 10%. | [

One big question now is the likely role of Mr. Fournier's allies.

wsj_0568_0 | Documents Creation Time: <t208>10/30/89</t208> UIS EARNINGS (ERN) COMPUTERS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (CPR) Unisys Corp.'s <ei2806>announcement</ei2806> <t209>Friday</t209> of a $648.2 million <ei2807>loss</ei2807> for <t211>the third quarter</t211> showed that the company is <ei2808>moving</ei2808> even faster than <ei2809>expected</ei2809> to <ei2810>take</ei2810> <ei2811>write-offs</ei2811> on its various problems and <ei2812>prepare</ei2812> for a <ei2813>turnaround</ei2813> <t214>next year</t214>. At the same time, the sheer size of the <ei2814>loss</ei2814>, coupled with a slowing of <ei2815>orders</ei2815>, <ei2816>made</ei2816> some securities analysts <ei2817>wonder</ei2817> just how <ei2818>strong</ei2818> that turnaround will be at the computer maker and defense-electronics concern. "Unisys is <ei2819>getting</ei2819> <ei2820>clobbered</ei2820>. Just clobbered," <ei2821>said</ei2821> Ulric Weil, an analyst at Weil amp Associates who had once been <ei2933>high</ei2933> on the company.

wsj_0568_1 | Documents Creation Time: <t208>10/30/89</t208> "The quarter was terrible, and the future looks anything but encouraging." Unisys, whose revenue <ei2823>inched</ei2823> up 3.7% in <t2135>the quarter</t2135> to <ei2934>$2.35</ei2934> billion from <ei2935>$2.27</ei2935> billion in <t225>the year-earlier quarter</t225>, <ei2826>had</ei2826> an operating <ei2827>loss</ei2827> of about $30 million. On top of that, the Blue Bell, Pa., concern <ei2828>took</ei2828> a $230 million <ei2829>charge</ei2829> related to the <ei2830>layoffs</ei2830> of 8,000 employees. That is at the high end of the range of 7,000 to 8,000 employees that Unisys <ei2831>said</ei2831> <t228>a month ago</t228> would be <ei2832>laid</ei2832> off. Unisys <ei2833>said</ei2833> that should <ei2834>help</ei2834> it <ei2835>save</ei2835> $500 million a year in costs, again at the high end of the previously <ei2836>reported</ei2836> range of $400 million to $500 million. | [

The company also <ei2837>took</ei2837> a <ei2838>write-off</ei2838> of $150 million to <ei2839>cover</ei2839> <ei2840>losses</ei2840> on some fixed-price defense contracts, as some new managers <ei2841>took</ei2841> a hard <ei2842>look</ei2842> at the prospects for that slow-growing <ei2843>business</ei2843>. In addition, Unisys <ei2844>set</ei2844> up an unspecified reserve -- apparently $60 million to $70 million -- to <ei2845>cover</ei2845> the minimum amount it will have to <ei2846>pay</ei2846> the government because of its <ei2847>involvement</ei2847> in the defense-procurement <ei2848>scandal</ei2848>. Unisys also <ei2849>noted</ei2849> that it <ei2850>paid</ei2850> $78.8 million in taxes during <t235>the quarter</t235>, even though tax payments normally would be minimal in a quarter that produced such a big loss. The tax <ei2851>payments</ei2851> will <ei2852>leave</ei2852> Unisys with $225 million in loss carry-forwards that will <ei2853>cut</ei2853> tax <ei2854>payments</ei2854> in <t237>future quarters</t237>. | [

In addition, Unisys <ei2855>said</ei2855> it <ei2856>reduced</ei2856> computer inventories a further $100 million during <t239>the quarter</t239>, <ei2857>leaving</ei2857> it within $100 million of its <ei2858>goal</ei2858> of a <ei2859>reduction</ei2859> of $500 million by <t243>the end of the year</t243>. Still, Unisys <ei2860>said</ei2860> its European business was <ei2861>weak</ei2861> during <t246>the quarter</t246>, a worrisome sign given that the company has <ei2862>relied</ei2862> on solid results overseas to <ei2863>overcome</ei2863> <ei2864>weakness</ei2864> in the U.S. over <t249>the past several quarters</t249>. The company also <ei2865>reported</ei2865> slower <ei2866>growth</ei2866> in another important business: systems that use the Unix operating system. That would be a huge <ei2867>problem</ei2867> if it were to <ei2868>continue</ei2868>, because Unisys is <ei2869>betting</ei2869> its business on the <ei2870>assumption</ei2870> that customers <ei2871>want</ei2871> to <ei2872>move</ei2872> away from using operating systems that run on only one manufacturer's equipment and toward systems -- mainly Unix -- that work on almost anyone's machines. | [

Polly Peck, a fast-growing British conglomerate, will <ei1992>pay</ei1992> 15.6 billion yen ($110 million) for 39 million new shares of Sansui, a well-known maker of high-fidelity audio equipment that <ei1993>failed</ei1993> to <ei1994>adjust</ei1994> to changing market conditions. Japanese government officials, <ei1995>eager</ei1995> to <ei1996>rebut</ei1996> foreign <ei1997>criticism</ei1997> of Japanese <ei1998>investments</ei1998> overseas , <ei1999>hailed</ei1999> the <ei2000>transaction</ei2000> as proof foreigners can make similar investments in Japan. Polly Peck's chairman, Asil Nadir, <ei2001>echoed</ei2001> the official Japanese <ei2002>view</ei2002> of the <ei2003>accord</ei2003>, which was <ei2004>announced</ei2004> <t200>Friday</t200>. "The myths that Japan is not open to concerns from outside has, I <ei2005>think</ei2005>, been <ei2006>demolished</ei2006> at a stroke," Mr. Nadir <ei2007>said</ei2007>. | [

"If you <ei2078>find</ei2078> sound, healthy companies in Japan, they are not <ei2079>for</ei2079> sale," <ei2016>said</ei2016> George Watanabe, a management-consultant at Tokyo-based Asia Advisory Services Inc. Statistics on acquisitions by foreigners vary in detail, because unlike Sansui, which is listed on the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges, most of the Japanese companies acquired by foreigners are privately held. But by all accounts foreign companies have <ei2017>bought</ei2017> only a relative handful of Japanese companies <t211>this year</t211>, while Japanese companies have <ei2018>acquired</ei2018> hundreds of foreign companies. | [

If the strong yen and the high stock prices of Japanese companies were n't deterrents enough, webs of cross-shareholdings between friendly Japanese companies and fiercely independent Japanese corporate attitudes <ei2021>repel</ei2021> most would-be acquirers. Usually when a Japanese company is ready to sell, it has few alternatives remaining, and the grim demeanors of Sansui's directors at a joint news conference here left little doubt that this was not the company's finest hour. Sansui was once one of Japan's premier makers of expensive, high-quality stereo gear for audiophiles. | [

wsj_0583_3 | Documents Creation Time: <t199>10/30/89</t199> Sansui was once one of Japan's premier makers of expensive, high-quality stereo gear for audiophiles. But in <t216>recent years</t216>, the market has <ei2022>moved</ei2022> toward less expensive "mini-component" sets, miniaturized amplifiers and receivers and software players that could be stacked on top of each other. Some of Sansui's fellow audio-specialty companies, such as Aiwa Co. and Pioneer Electric Corp., <ei2023>responded</ei2023> to the <ei2024>challenge</ei2024> by quickly <ei2025>bringing</ei2025> out mini-component products of their own, by <ei2026>moving</ei2026> heavily into the booming compact disk businesses or by <ei2027>diversifying</ei2027> into other consumer-electronics fields, including laser disks or portable cassette players. Sansui was late into the mini-component business and <ei2028>failed</ei2028> to <ei2029>branch</ei2029> into other new businesses. As the yen <ei2030>soared</ei2030> in <t217>recent years</t217>, Sansui's deepening financial problems <ei2031>became</ei2031> a vicious circle. | [

While competitors <ei2033>moved</ei2033> production offshore in response to the sagging <ei2034>competitiveness</ei2034> of Japanese factories, Sansui <ei2035>lacked</ei2035> the money to <ei2036>build</ei2036> new plants in Southeast Asia.

Computer experts familiar with the flaws, found in Intel's 80486 chip, <ei2221>say</ei2221> the defects do n't <ei2222>affect</ei2222> the average user and are likely to be <ei2223>cleared</ei2223> up before most computers using the chip as their "brains" <ei2224>appear</ei2224> on the market <t278>sometime next year</t278>.

John C. Marous, chairman and chief executive officer, also <ei1995>said</ei1995> the company <ei1996>expects</ei1996> sales from continuing businesses to <ei1997>rise</ei1997> 8.5% annually through <t121>the next three years</t121>. In <t122>1988</t122>, the company <ei1998>earned</ei1998> $822.8 million, or $5.66 a share, on sales of $12.49 billion. Since <t126>1983</t126>, Westinghouse has <ei1999>shed</ei1999> 70 businesses that it did n't <ei2000>expect</ei2000> to <ei2001>produce</ei2001> 10% operating margins while <ei2002>acquiring</ei2002> 55 businesses. In <t127>the past 20 months</t127> alone, Paul E. Lego, president and chief operating officer, <ei2003>said</ei2003> the divestiture of $300 million of slow-growth, low-profit businesses has been more than <ei2058>offset</ei2058> by $600 million in profitable acquisitions. | [

Even if the gross national product is either <ei2007>flat</ei2007> or <ei2059>in</ei2059> the growth range of 2% to 2.5%, "we can <ei2009>handle</ei2009> that," Mr. Marous <ei2010>said</ei2010>.

The <ei1993>action</ei1993> <ei1994>came</ei1994> in response to a petition <ei1995>filed</ei1995> by Timex Inc. for changes in the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences for imports from developing nations.

The White House <ei1999>said</ei1999> Mr. Bush <ei2000>decided</ei2000> to <ei2001>grant</ei2001> duty-free status for 18 categories, but <ei2002>turned</ei2002> down such <ei2003>treatment</ei2003> for other types of watches "because of the potential for material injury to watch producers located in the U.S. and the Virgin Islands." | [

So the <ei2611>impact</ei2611> on the $950 billion mutual fund industry as a whole probably will be slight. But tremors are likely in the junk-bond market, which has <ei2612>helped</ei2612> to <ei2613>finance</ei2613> the takeover <ei2614>boom</ei2614> of <t196>recent years</t196>. Mutual funds are the among the largest holders of junk, accounting for more than a quarter of the entire high-yield, high-risk market. The 88 mutual funds investing solely in junk bonds hold assets of about $32 billion. | [
