...continuing, incredible soybean scandal-the most prodigious swindle in modern times, reaching out from the grimy waterfront of Bayonne, N.J., and involving big commodities dealers in Buenos Aires, recipients of U.S. foreign aid in Karachi, and a numbered bank account in Zurich. Sixteen companies have been bankrupted. Eleven firms controlled by De Angelis have gone under, as have two respected Wall Street brokerage houses and one subsidiary of American Express Co. Embarrassed bankers from London to San Francisco have been taken for many millions. So have De Angelis' customers, notably the Isbrandtsen Shipping Line, and such worldwide commodities dealers...
Into Nairobi last week flew Uganda's Prime Minister Milton Obote, badly in need. For one thing, he needed to get his hands on the eleven truckloads of Red Chinese weapons that had been intercepted while sneaking through Kenya on their way to him from Tanzania. He also needed to spring their 47-man escort, whom outraged President Jomo Kenyatta had ordered tried for arms smuggling.

C. Penney likes it so much that he plans a 100th birthday party eleven years from now to coincide with what he expects will be the chain's first $3 billion sales year...
Props & Profits. The Michelangelo is eleven decks high and one-sixth of a mile long, has more swimming pools than any other ship (three each for adults and children-all outdoors and heated) and more art than several substantial museums. It has 30 bars, lounges and public galleries, and in its ample pantries carries 23,000 liters of wine, 3,500 liters of champagne and Asti Spumante and 330 Ibs. of Iranian caviar. The ship also carries, however, a technical flaw common to many new ships: strong vibrations caused by slight faults in the propellers, which will be replaced when...
