We are Americans living on the Turkish economy, and it hurts to pay 20 Turkish lira (about $2) for a box of dry milk stamped...
With the repeal of the banishment law-caused in part by publicity surrounding his own case-Baldwin was forced to return to his unit in Ankara for transport back to the U.S. and a bad-conduct discharge.

It has acquired two life-insurance companies with policies of more than $200 million in force, banks in Geneva, Nassau and Luxembourg with combined assets of $21 million, a data-processing firm and other investment services for 80,000 clients from Amsterdam to Ankara. This complex is growing faster than ever. After reaching $300 million for all of 1964, I.O.S. sales have shot up 91% - to $106 million - just during the first quarter...
When Turkey lost the war, Kemal Pasha fought on in secret. He cached arms all over the country, established a National Assembly at Ankara, and formed a new Turkish government with himself at its head. Within three years he had smashed an Anglo-Greek army of more than 100,000 men in two magnificent campaigns in Anatolia, recaptured Smyrna* and swung north to the Bosporus, toppled the British government, and forced Lord Curzon to talk Turkey on Kemal's terms...
