Free Translation. With all his courage and steadfastness. Adnan Menderes is often a worry to Turkey's friends. Determined to remake his nation economically overnight, busy Premier Menderes has built so many dams and factories, spent so many lire, marks, dollars, pounds and francs that Turkey today has one of the world's most inflated currencies, and a credit rating so poor that even the Turkish Central Bank refuses to honor government orders to release foreign exchange. Neither near bankruptcy nor the appeals of his friends can persuade Menderes that the time has come to end his headlong...
Four-year-old Playboy magazine, which has built 788,350 circulation on the proposition that, next to themselves, boys like girls best, discovered last week that even this sturdy philosophy can lead to trouble.

In converting the palace, Naples' Art Director Bruno Molajoli faced not only the staggering task of cleaning and identifying some 600 stored paintings (including two Correggios found in a case marked "rubbish"), but also laying out a modern...
...Western lines use their planes up to twelve hours a day for money-saving "maximum utilization," Aeroflot idles dozens of planes on the ground for each one in the air. Aeroflot does not have enough good ground bases, maintenance depots or technicians to handle its huge fleet. The Russians built Aeroflot's new planes so they can use the country's rough airports, rather than improving the airports. Thus the jets sacrifice payload and range for ruggedness...
