...Bahamas, signed on as a $20,000-a-year consultant to Grand Bahama's real estate developers. His son, Robert, an internationally famed yachtsman, also had a five-year consulting contract, at $15,000 annually. "I earned my fees," he testified last week, "advising on marine design, yacht purchases and bunkering facilities." Dr. Raymond Sawyer, a dentist and U.B.P. executive-council member, held a $12,000-a-year consultancy on health problems. "Of course," intoned Sir Stafford with a straight face, "these consultancies were not softeners or bribes...
...copper plates. Gutenberg had just discovered a way to print words, and perhaps the notion that pictures too could be printed in much the same way led E.S. to experiment. He may have started simply by making studies for goldsmith work. Some of his prints, indeed, seem to be design patterns for chalices and monstrances. But he went on to fashion in copper a Gothic world in microcosm...
...corporate life-and most of them share Harold Geneen's distaste for the term.

But while the F-lll's builder, General Dynamics, fell behind schedule trying to satisfy airmen, Navymen and McNamara men, the Soviet Union scored a neat feat of copycatting. At last July's Moscow air show, it displayed two new swing-wing combat planes, including one that had unquestionably profited from the tribulations of the F-lll. The Russians' Mikoyan-designed fighter has its air ducts placed far forward on the fuselage, apparently...
Whether by Peking's design or impotence, the Communists in Hong Kong also continued to make trouble. Some 40 Chinese pushed across the border at Lowu and menaced the British customs house; Gurkha troops finally drove them back to Maoland with tear gas. And a leading anti-Communist radio commentator, Lam Bun, died of burns after Maoists disguised as street repairmen flagged his car down, doused him with gasoline and set him afire...
