- THE CHAIRMAN GETS HOW MUCH?
-
- Under current rules, it's all but impossible to figure how
- much corporations actually pay their top executives. To take
- the mystery out of proxy statements, the SEC proposes that
- companies use uniform tables to show senior executives'
- compensation and illustrate more clearly how the corporation is
- performing compared with similar firms. The SEC also wants it
- spelled out how the directors determined the salary. The
- proposals could be adopted by the 1993 proxy season.

- NOT GUILTY, BUT . . .
-
- Sears, Roebuck & Co. initially said there were no problems
- in its automotive-repair division. But with the repair business
- off 15% across the U.S. since accusations of overcharging were
- made three weeks ago, the company admitted it had some problems
- after all. In response to an 18-month investigation in
- California that claimed Sears "systematically" cheated
- customers, the company announced that it would discontinue
- commissions and quotas for salespeople.
