...with $200 million tied up in 1,000 capped gas wells, let out a jubilant whoop. Well it might: Canada's new National Energy Board estimated that exports under the four approved licenses will earn $75.5 million a year in U.S. sales by 1963, enough for a significant dent in Canada's chronic trade deficit with...
Scouts in the Whiskey. By mid-1958, The Whiskey Distillers of Ireland, who wanted to make a bigger dent in the U.S. market, were in the fold. Weiner & Gossage started an Irish campaign that featured ads ending in midsentence, sniffed at the Brazilian coffee bean (because Irish coffee obscured the burnished flavor of Irish whiskey), extolled St. Patrick's Day in Mexico City. In the interest of scientific experiment ("Irish whiskey research in nature's laboratory"), Gossage dreamed up the Irish Geophysical Year, to be held in McMurdo Sound...

Vast Ignorance. But the big fact about Peaceful Coexistence, 1959-the fact beyond Kozlov's toothy public grin and the U.S. Governors' convivial good will-is that it is a deadly serious part of cold war. Washington encourages a strictly reciprocal exchange in an attempt to dent the vast and dangerous Soviet ignorance of the U.S., make Russians more restlessly aware of the gulf between U.S. and Soviet standards of living. Washington tolerates Kozlov-level visits because the President wants the Kremlin hierarchy to know firsthand that the U.S. is united and deadly serious in its intention...
