Bethlehem Steel unveils a plan to repurpose its Lackawanna works into a combined port transit and industrial facility. Security Pacific Realty Advisory Services says negotiations are under way with potential users for parcels and buildings on the 1300 acre site, with two leasing agreements possible within two weeks. The plan, supported by no public funds, highlights a 1000 foot long canal and Union Ship Canal access, plus rail, road, and utility assets to move goods among ships, trains, and trucks.

Michael Jensen of the University of Rochester argues against the idea that outsiders always hurt shareholders in corporate takeovers. He cites research showing target shareholders often gain from tender offers and that raid profits can sometimes benefit the acquiring firm as well.

Shareholders can win in corporate battles myth busting summary
In a Graduate School of Management alumni magazine piece, Jensen argues takeovers mainly transfer claims on resources between shareholder groups rather than consume resources. The only real costs are legal and advisory fees, while premiums to target shareholders may reflect value from asset consolidation. Managers are self interested but constrained by the corporate environment.

Will Defends Tax Increase Stance Amid Budget Critique
A reader criticizes George Will for advocating tax hikes in 1985 while noting federal spending rose from 1981 to 1984. The letter cites Grace Commission findings, bracket creep, Social Security taxes, TEFRA, and prior tax hikes. It likens the argument to Ebenezer Scrooge and questions underfunded tax relief.
