Man in the middle
Article Abstract:
Aerolink International, an air cargo handling firm, has emerged from being a small six-worker company established in August 1986 to becoming a 313-worker firm with $10 million to $12 million in revenues every year. Aerolink has benefitted from the increased business for the international and US air cargo sector since 1986, as carriers started to outsource their cargo-handling requirements. Aerolink was also steered towards growth by its founder, Terry Engel, who exhibited strengths in motivating workers, in handling the company and in servicing clients' needs.

Steel's gray area
Article Abstract:
Most of the US steel producers who complained about unfair trade as low priced imported steel continue to flood the market are found to be the ones who are buying imports. The US International Trade Commission has received information that LTV Steel, Betlehem Steel, and US Steel, are among leading US steel industry firms from whom Japanese, Brazilian, and Russian steel producers are receiving inquiries regarding steel slabs and the so-called hot-rolled steel. US producers are complaining about the cutthroat pricing employed by foreign suppliers.
