Wang Laboratories Inc. introduced a low-cost version of its VS 6000 minicomputer line. The new model, the VS 6000/Server, can be used either as a conventional stand-alone computer or as a unit to store data in a network of personal computers. Wang said the new machine should end speculation that the company was dropping its proprietary line of minicomputers. After the company signed an agreement to resell I.B.M. computers in June, many industry analysts speculated the Wang would stop manufacturing its own systems. The VS 6000/ server is priced $11,500 to $125,000.

One article quoted unidentified "company insiders" as the sources of reports that B. Jurgen Hintz, the executive vice president in charge of the Procter & Gamble's food division, was being pressured to resign. The second quoted "current and former" company managers as saying that the company might sell some unprofitable or low-profit food brands, including Citrus Hill orange juice and Crisco shortenings.
