MANATEES. Native to Florida, South America and the Caribbean, the manatee (or sea cow) was once regarded as the answer to the water hyacinths; each was believed to consume as much as 100 lbs. of the hyacinths a day.

Further, Schmidt has made it clear to the Italian government that Germany would end all further economic aid to Italy if the Communists were allowed to come into the government. Bonn sees no reason why it should subsidize a political movement that is anathema to the majority of Germans...
