A one-stop, full text database for a broad range of business and
industry information.

INDY provides the full text plus indexing of articles from over 500
key trade, management and regional business publications, plus index
citations for articles from an additional 600 publications, and two
newswire services from 1983 onwards, offering regional to global

Some older documents may also include an abstract.

- recent investment opportunities in Eastern Europe
- new developments and trends in executive and saloon cars
- the cable television activities of Time-Warner in 1993

German Acts Aid Charity Campaign.
Text
1 OF 1. HAMBURG--Coca-Cola is teaming up with German musicians
for a charity venture that should bring a more colorful face to
the drink's traditional red and white can. Twelve German acts
will design cans that will be distributed in limited supply at
the end of the year. The concept has been incorporated into the
"Coca-Cola Is Music" campaign, which involves concerts all over
Europe. Proceeds from the can campaign will go to the Nordoff-
Robbins Foundation, which aims to help handicapped children
through music therapy. The foundation runs a therapy center in
the German town of Witten-Herdecke. Foundation director Walter
Lichte reports that donations totalled more than 500,000 marks
($294,000) last year, and that it is hoped that the figure will
double by 1993. "Our partner institutes in New York and London
have been supported for many years by such famous artists as Paul
McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, and others, " Lichte
says. "We're pleased that German artists are now going to support
the foundation here." Acts who are in the throes of designing
include the Scorpions, Bon Jovi, Die Fantastischen Vier, Peter
Maffay, BAP, Otto, Matthias Reim, Marius Muller-Westernhagen, Udo
Lindenberg, Fury In The Slaughterhouse, and the British act East
17.
