Article Abstract:
Saudi Arabia faces an uncertain economic future as its oil reserves decline and with it, the country's income. King Fahd reduced government spending 6.2% for 1995 and 20% in 1994, and oil prices are not expected to rise any time soon. Islamic forces hope to have more influence on society.

The not-so-magic kingdom: Euro Disney
Article Abstract:
EuroDisney stock has fallen by over one-half since its Apr 1992 high, and now sells for 4 francs less than its original 1989 issue price of 72 francs. Many shareholders believe that EuroDisney's deal with Walt Disney Co., owner of 49%, leaves them bearing all the risk.
