Not such a Sterling idea

Article Abstract:

Sterling Forest, a nature-filled woodland 60 miles north of New York City, is slated for development beginning in 1994. The area is owned by a Swedish insurance company which wants to build a model city on 25% of the property. The area is on a list of sites designated for conservation by the state of New York, but there is no money for its purchase. Many area politicians see development of part of the area as the only way to save other parts. Conservationists disagree, claiming any development would upset the entire ecosystem.

Recession ends: industry posts first profitable operating year since 1987

The title insurance industry has shown a profit in 1992. Operating revenues of over $5 billion generated $127 million in profit. 1993 operating revenues are predicted at $5.2 billion, with $175 million in profit expected. The industry has pulled out of recession, due to cost controls, efficiency improvements, housing starts and mortgage refinancings, although commercial real estate has not improved.
