Horton ends Cleveland tenure as BP aims higher
Robert P. Horton, 48, returns to London after two years as Standard Oil BP America chairman, having cut charity, trimmed staff, and sold off 20 former Standard firms to stabilize the business. He led plans for a $50 million Rock Hall in downtown Cleveland and helped push a new domed stadium while BP made its first major corporate donation to Cleveland public schools. Local leaders credit his belt tightening and community involvement for keeping BP in Northeast Ohio.

Builders shift to move up market in 1988 data
The survey shows 55 percent building for move-up homes in 1988, 42 percent for starters in 1983-84, and 3 percent for seniors. Looking to 1989 and 1990, 65 percent plan move-ups, 27 percent start homes, and senior projects rise to 9 percent.
Housing starts seen steady as buyers grow cost conscious
Savacool predicts buyers will be more price sensitive in 1988 after 1986 and 1987 price surges. Nationwide prices rose about 14 percent in 1987 and over 9 percent in 1986, driven by move-up buyers seeking larger homes. Major builders expect a strong 1988 but caution on economy and consumer attitudes. Isaac Heimbinder of U S Home Corp cites moderating rates, solid jobs and retail results, with buyers shopping hard for big-ticket housing while remaining cautious.
