...touchstone was oil. Under Brazil's jungle, oilmen hope to find petroleum pools that will make the Western democracies less dependent on the strategically vulnerable Middle East. Brazilians, who last year spent $85 million on imported gasoline and fuel oil, are just as anxious to see the fields brought in. Though they lack the money to do their own proving, they have blocked exploration by foreigners...
...school uniform (now modified, at night, to a dark jacket), so long as he didn't have to be too literal about the major ones. Particularly, he doesn't believe, as Mrs. Riddle did, that there is one class privileged to produce gentlemen. He is as anxious to turn out gentlemen as she was, but believes that they can be made, not necessarily prenatally.
