Hundreds of U.S. and European employees of the oil companies were herded protectively into company compounds, but it was hard to say what they were being protected from. "Mucha música pero poca ópera," said a grizzled engineer, quoting the old Nicaraguan proverb: Lots of noise but little action. Although most of the $125 million worth of oil installations had been prudently shut down several days before the invasion, one U.S. contracting company, disregarding the war, kept right at work on a road and pipeline linking the oilfields with the seacoast. Caltex announced that, with government permission...

Together, they had streamed from the Eastern European ghettos to the garment district sweatshops 40 years ago; together, they still play gin rummy by summer and bake on the Miami beaches on vacations in winter. And together they fixed the wage scales. When a maker brought out a new dress, a joint management-union conclave decided what share...
...starts when a couple of aging land sharks move into the well-known European water hole and try to put the bite on each other. He (Vittorio De Sica) is a rentless wreck of an Italian nobleman named Conte Dino della Fiaba (Count Fib). She (Marlene Dietrich) is an enchantress who has come full Circe and now finds herself with nothing to her name but a title, Marquise Maria de Crevecoeur (Lady Heartbreak). She thinks he's rich, he thinks she's rich, and it all makes a pleasant little comedy of errors until suddenly the script makes...
