Dr. Fred Zimmerman, Manufacturing Systems and Engineering Department, authored an article, "Fundamentally Less Monkey Business" in the Dec. 31 Star Tribune. It featured those historical authorities on stock market performance -- Groucho Marx and Al Capone -- and made the point that investment speculation of recent years has been tried before with similarly poor results. Zimmerman also was interviewed on Minnesota Public Radio for his views on acquisitions and mergers. The high publishing standards of Bulletin Today preclude mentioning what Zimmerman said.
