...expansion plans during 1966, and new industry is sprouting up. Last week the government unveiled Turkey's first homemade automobile, the Anadol, a sprightly little sedan that will go into production next month.

Our Mediterranean coastal beaches could bring us $100 million a year from tourism...

The food shopper can be sure that fish is fresh, she advises, if the eyes are clear, the gills bright red and the flesh firm. The keys to successful sauteing are, first, patting dry the food, then hot fat and an uncrowded pan. A souffle has a much better chance of rising...
