...laureates William Einthoven, who developed the electrocardiogram, and Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, who discovered the growth-stimulating vitamins. Of the 38 lecturers, 13 have come from England; seven from Germany; three each from France, South America and United States; two from Sweden; and one each from Holland, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Australia, Canada, and Austria...
...first Bantustan on Verwoerd's list was the Transkei, a Denmark-size (16,500 sq. mi.) area of eroded farm land on the Indian Ocean. Nobody knows the troubles it has seen. Ever since Africans went on a rampage there more than two years ago, murdering the government's handpicked tribal chiefs and setting fire to entire villages, mobile police patrols armed with Sten guns, armored cars, and helicopter spotter planes have had to stay on duty in parts of the Transkei.

Many of the 1,500,000 passengers that stream through Puerto Rico's airport each year are bound to and from the Virgins, a cluster of tiny islands, the three largest of which were bought by the U.S. from Denmark in 1917. Principal Virgin is St. Thomas, whose harbor, Charlotte Amalie, is a free port, and hence the most popular stop for cruise ships in the Caribbean (tourists returning to the U.S. from the Virgins may also bring in $200 worth of purchases duty-free, instead of the regular $100 limit). St. Thomas has some spectacular...
