...that cheers; but it is Christmas and New Year's Eve, those nationally permissive drinking occasions, that pop the cork and the bung and inspire a steady round of wassails. In a single month, the nation's drinkers buy an eighth part of their annual supply, some of it to give but a good share of it to consume. This year, December's national bill, for spirits alone, will tot up to a staggering $1.1 billion...
Sidewalk Message. A reluctant France foots the bill for nearly one-fifth of its prodigal offspring's $29 million annual budget. When Soglo returned from a trip to France last month, he brought the message that "Dahomey will not in the least relax austerity...

In Britain, U.S. companies own half...
