In an Oct. 19 review of `` The Misanthrope '' at Chicago 's Goodman Theatre ( `` Revitalized Classics Take the Stage in Windy City , '' Leisure & Arts ) , the role of Celimene , played by Kim Cattrall , was mistakenly attributed to Christina Haag . Ms. Haag plays Elianti . Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Inc. said it expects its U.S. sales to remain steady at about 1,200 cars in 1990 . The luxury auto maker last year sold 1,214 cars in the U.S. Howard Mosher , president and chief executive officer , said he anticipates growth for the luxury auto maker in Britain and Europe , and in Far Eastern markets . BELL INDUSTRIES Inc. increased its quarterly to 10 cents from seven cents a share . The new rate will be payable Feb. 15 . A record date has n't been set . Bell , based in Los Angeles , makes and distributes electronic , computer and building products . Investors are appealing to the Securities and Exchange Commission not to limit their access to information about stock purchases and sales by corporate insiders . A SEC proposal to ease reporting requirements for some company executives would undermine the usefulness of information on insider trades as a stock-picking tool , individual investors and professional money managers contend . They make the argument in letters to the agency about rule changes proposed this past summer that , among other things , would exempt many middle-management executives from reporting trades in their own companies ' shares . The proposed changes also would allow executives to report exercises of options later and less often . Many of the letters maintain that investor confidence has been so shaken by the 1987 stock market crash -- and the markets already so stacked against the little guy -- that any decrease in information on insider-trading patterns might prompt individuals to get out of stocks altogether . `` The SEC has historically paid obeisance to the ideal of a level playing field , '' wrote Clyde S. McGregor of Winnetka , Ill. , in one of the 92 letters the agency has received since the changes were proposed Aug. 17 . `` Apparently the commission did not really believe in this ideal . '' Currently , the rules force executives , directors and other corporate insiders to report purchases and sales of their companies ' shares within about a month after the transaction . But about 25 % of the insiders , according to SEC figures , file their reports late . The changes were proposed in an effort to streamline federal bureaucracy and boost compliance by the executives `` who are really calling the shots , '' said Brian Lane , special counsel at the SEC 's office of disclosure policy , which proposed the changes . Investors , money managers and corporate officials had until today to comment on the proposals , and the issue has produced more mail than almost any other issue in memory , Mr. Lane said . The SEC will probably vote on the proposal early next year , he said . Not all those who wrote oppose the changes . The Committee on Federal Regulation of Securities for the American Bar Association argues , for example , in its lengthy letter to the SEC , that the proposed changes `` would substantially improve the { law } by conforming it more closely to contemporary business realities . '' What the investors who oppose the proposed changes object to most is the effect they say the proposal would have on their ability to spot telltale `` clusters '' of trading activity -- buying or selling by more than one officer or director within a short period of time . According to some estimates , the rule changes would cut insider filings by more than a third . The SEC 's Mr. Lane vehemently disputed those estimates . The rules will eliminate filings policy-making divisions , such as sales , marketing , finance and research and development , Mr. Lane said . The proposed rules also would be tougher on the insiders still required to file reports , he said . Companies would be compelled to publish in annual proxy statements the names of insiders who fail to file reports on time . Considered as a whole , Mr. Lane said , the filings required under the proposed rules `` will be at least as effective , if not more so , for investors following transactions . '' But Robert Gabele , president of Invest\/Net , a North Miami , Fla. , company that packages and sells the insider-trading data , said the proposal is worded so vaguely that key officials may fail to file the reports . Many investors wrote asking the SEC to require insiders to report their purchases and sales immediately , not a month later . But Mr. Lane said that while the SEC regulates who files , the law tells them when to do so . Investors who want to change the required timing should write their representatives in Congress , he added . The SEC would likely be amenable to legislation that required insiders to file transactions on a more timely basis , he said . The nation 's largest pension fund , which oversees $ 80 billion for college employees , plans to offer two new investment options to its 1.2 million participants . The Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association-College Retirement Equities Fund said it will introduce a stock and bond fund that will invest in `` socially responsible '' companies , and a bond fund . Both funds are expected to begin operation around March 1 , subject to Securities and Exchange Commission approval . For its employees to sign up for the options , a college also must approve the plan . Some 4,300 institutions are part of the pension fund . The new options carry out part of an agreement that the pension fund , under pressure to relax its strict participation rules and to provide more investment options , reached with the SEC in December . The new `` social choice '' fund will shun securities of companies linked to South Africa , nuclear power and in some cases , Northern Ireland . Also excluded will be investments in companies with `` significant '' business stemming from weapons manufacture , alcoholic beverages or tobacco . Sixty percent of the fund will be invested in stocks , with the rest going into bonds or short-term investments . The bond fund will invest in high-grade or medium-grade bonds , mortgages or asset-backed securities , including as much as 15 % in foreign securities . The fund also might buy and sell futures and options contracts , subject to approval by the New York State Insurance Department . Under two new features , participants will be able to transfer money from the new funds to other investment funds or , if their jobs are terminated , receive cash from the funds . The investment choices offered by the pension fund currently are limited to a stock fund , an annuity and a money-market fund . New Brunswick Scientific Co. , a maker of biotechnology instrumentation and equipment , said it adopted an anti-takeover plan giving shareholders the right to purchase shares at half price under certain conditions . The company said the plan , under review for some time , will protect shareholders against `` abusive takeover tactics . W. Ed Tyler , 37 years old , a senior vice president at this printing concern , was elected president of its technology group , a new position . Solo woodwind players have to be creative if they want to work a lot , because their repertoire and audience appeal are limited . The oboist Heinz Holliger has taken a hard line about the problem : He commissions and splendidly interprets fearsome contemporary scores and does some conducting , so he does n't have to play the same Mozart and Strauss concertos over and over again . Richard Stoltzman has taken a gentler , more audience-friendly approach . Years ago , he collaborated with the new music gurus Peter Serkin and Fred Sherry in the very countercultural chamber group Tashi , which won audiences over to dreaded contemporary scores like Messiaen 's `` Quartet for the End of Time . '' Today , the pixie-like clarinetist has mostly dropped the missionary work ( though a touch of the old Tashi still survives ) and now goes on the road with piano , bass , a slide show , and a repertoire that ranges from light classical to light jazz to light pop , with a few notable exceptions . Just the thing for the Vivaldi-at-brunch set , the yuppie audience that has embraced New Age as its very own easy listening . But you ca n't dismiss Mr. Stoltzman 's music or his motives as merely commercial and lightweight . He believes in what he plays , and he plays superbly . His recent appearance at the Metropolitan Museum , dubbed `` A Musical Odyssey , '' was a case in point . It felt more like a party , or a highly polished jam session with a few friends , than a classical concert .
