...attain more defense contracts for Massachusetts. He argues that two elected Kennedys can offer only mutual embarrassment, not mutual aid. But, even on Lodge's terms, will a President who appoints one brother Attorney General and permits another to run for the Senate be embarrassed to bolster the Massachusetts economy for the sake of Ted's polical career?

But Visconti's penchant for the stage is his downfall, since he handles a short story as if it were...
...surplus to a small deficit in international payments, and the surpluses of Belgium and Switzerland are declining. And in a time when everyone talks of expanding markets, Japan has clamped on import controls and Canada has raised many of its tariffs from 5% to 15% in an attempt to bolster its sagging dollar.
