(FORTUNE Magazine) – The week of the market crash was the best ever for the Baja, a year-old Manhattan dance club started by ten young Wall Streeters. Another club, The Stock Exchange, which opened last August in the former Pacific Stock Exchange building in Los Angeles, drew an unexpectedly large crowd to its Crash Party, celebrating the Crash of 1929. The party was planned before -- and occurred nine days after -- the debacle of 1987. -- Mercedes-Benz will raise 1988 model prices in North America about 3%. Its least expensive car will sell for $29,190, its most expensive for around $76,000. -- The Federal Office of Government Ethics advised employees of the executive branch that they are forbidden to accept meals from lobbyists or business executives, among others.
