...Army Air Corps during World War II, he joined a family firm, the Duncan Coffee Co. (later Duncan Foods), and in 1958 became its president. Six years later, when the company was merged into Coca-Cola, Duncan moved to London as head of Coca-Cola's European operations. He became president of the Atlanta-based firm in November 1971, at a time when Jimmy Carter was Governor of Georgia, but quit less than three years later because he wanted to go back to Houston. There he served as board chairman of an investment banking company, Rotan Mosle Financial Corp...
...into results, and that depends on Americans, who waste energy so badly." Vienna's daily Die Presse wrote: "The chances of the Carter plan's success are small because of conflicting interests and the population's clinging to 'the American way of life.'" Unfortunately, European, Asian and other foreign commentators failed to recognize that if Carter realizes his goal of creating an extremely large synthetic-fuels industry, it will spur a more significant, productive revolution in the U.S. than anything that non-Americans are likely to experience in the 1980s...

In Italy, tempestuous public resistance to restrictions ended in a historic compromise involving an 87-m.p.h. limit on autostradas for Maseratis and other high-powered cars, with less powerful vehicles subject...
...Hulten, at a disadvantage in bargaining. The Russian side of the show is wholly chosen and catalogued by Soviet experts, whose essays (as one might expect) gloss over the brutal fate of the culture they discuss and, as art history, are not pitched at the level of scholarship a European audience feels entitled to. But it is the work that counts, and must be seen, in all its energy and episodic magnificence: a vast panorama, from the haunted fin-de-siècle symbolist canvases of Mikhail Vrubel to the last attempts, by painters like Alexander Deineka, to combine...
