Overhead, another new German weapon seized control of the skies: the Junkers-87 Stuka dive bomber, which plunged down to blast road junctions and railroad lines; it also had a device that emitted screams to spread terror among its victims. And then there were the heavy bombers. General Wladyslaw Anders, who would eventually lead the Polish exile army through the battles of North Africa and Italy, heard the ominous drone of Heinkel-111s overhead and later remembered that "squadron after squadron of aircraft could be seen flying in file, like cranes, to Warsaw." At 6 a.m. those deadly cranes began...

...Ferruzzi's two largest U.S. rivals, Archer Daniels Midland of Decatur, Ill., and Cargill of Minneapolis, felt the pinch from rising prices and complained to the c.b.o.t. Said one trader: "Older, established firms ganged up on the new, foreign kid on the block." With prices taking a near panic dive, Ferruzzi has already lost an estimated $10 million. Harder hit may be U.S. soybean farmers, who last week saw the value of their total crop fall an estimated $500 million...
