...right under British noses. On its 1963 revenues of $67 million, the line earned a modest $1,000,000. In directing a worldwide enterprise that employs 3,800 Israelis, Wydra, who has headed ZIM since its founding, faces some unique problems.

At that, a Tehuantepec canal would be the longest and most expensive to dig, costing $2.3 billion and requiring 815 nuclear explosives. The Nicaragua-Costa Rica route would cost less ($1.9 billion), but raises all sorts of political problems by crossing two countries. Another surveyed route, at the Atrato and Truando rivers of north west Colombia...
