1999 Pentagon Contracts
United Technology: $2.4 billion
TEXTRON: $1.4 billion
NORTHROP GRUMMAN: $3.2 billion
BOEING: $11.6 billion
Raytheon: $6.4 billion
GE: $1.7 billion
GENERAL DYNAMICS: $4.6 billion
LOCKHEED MARTIN: $12.7 billion
TRW: $1.4 billion

bombs dropping in the Middle East, top executives of the big weapons
manufacturers are adding up their profits, their brains working like
cash registers gone haywire.
