- <p>JUNK BONDS TO JAIL
- </p>
- <p> Financier Charles Keating Jr., who cost investors $250
- million when his Lincoln Savings & Loan Association in Irvine,
- Calif., collapsed, was sentenced last week to 10 years in prison
- and fined $250,000. "Charles Keating did not steal a loaf of
- bread," said Harriet Chappuise, one of the elderly people who
- lost money in the failure. "He stole the bread out of the mouths
- of thousands of old people."

- <p>FARE DEAL
- </p>
- <p> American Airlines announced that it would overhaul its
- pricing structure and cut fares as much as 50%. By creating four
- basic fare categories--first class, 21-day advance, 7-day
- advance and coach, for which tickets can be bought anytime--the airline reduced its 500,000 different fares to a mere
- 70,000. Other airlines quickly followed suit.
