There is another theory behind the rise in ticket prices. While they tell everyone that this is going to be a brand new Jubilee, the organizers know that Jubilee Weekends are always the same. Because so few people came to Jubilee the year before, if the same number of people come this year they will have to pay more per person just to cover the deficit calculated from the year before. This really needn't be explained; suffice it to say that the shady dealings with the price of tickets was also part of the whole Conspiracy...
Other Moslem holymen contend that Islam and Bhashani's brand of socialism do not mix. His critics also charge that he is seizing ,on secessionist tendencies chiefly because an independent East Pakistan would be so weak that it would be susceptible to influence from China and the neighboring Indian state of West Bengal, which is now ruled by a Communist government. Bhashani, while not a Communist, is a radical leftist with close personal and political ties to Peking...
...junta. The U.S. does not refute Peru's right to expropriate. Indeed, this would be pointless, since the government's Empresa Petrolera Fiscal is operating IPC's Talara refinery with Mexican assistance, and is ripping down Esso gas-station signs in favor of its own brand name Petroperu.

But the FTC complains that the acquisition tends to "lessen competition" in violation of the Clayton Antitrust Act because Litton already owns the Royal typewriter company, which accounts for 40% of the manual-and 11% of the electric-typewriter market...
...understood. When in the late nineteenth century Frederick Jackson Turner, a Harvard professor of History, came out with his thesis attributing the growth of democracy to the influence of the frontier environment, it was greeted with warm applause, then critically torn to shreds. Yes, America had developed its own brand of democracy the critics agree; but, no, the "frontier" thesis was not an accurate analysis of its growth. Since that time no single work has appeared to unravel the somewhat mysterious evolution of American democracy...
