...like a boil on the side of Mount Everest compared to what could happen in Mississippi." Coleman's strategy-difficult to understand in the North, but bold for the Deep South-is to work for racial peace and quiet. Unlike many of his political predecessors, he refuses to exploit segregation as a political issue. Of five candidates for governor in the 1955 primary, only Coleman pointedly refused to indorse the racist White Citizens' Councils; he won in the runoff election by a record 48,000 votes, the first governor in 32 years elected in his first...
...Small Profit, Big Turnover. Founded in 1888 to exploit the old copper mines around the ancient spa of Montecatini, the company perked along modestly until 1910, when hard-driving Guido Donegani, a young mining engineer, moved into the presidency and set out to build a self-contained empire. He began mining the area's neglected iron pyrite deposits (for sulphuric acid), then built a plant to process the pyrite wastes, and extracted 600,000 tons of pig iron yearly-a boon for iron-poor Italy. He made blasting powder for his own mines and turned Catini into Italy...

Burn & Crush. The twelve years of Soviet depredations which have impoverished Poland to the point of desperation are part of a deliberately conceived Russian policy not very different from that of the Czars. Through 400 years the great powers surrounding Poland, seeking to exploit its estates and mines, have sought to crush Polish independence. From Russia's Ivan the Terrible, who invaded under the pretext of "gathering in of the Russian lands," to Sweden's Charles XII, whose declared Polish policy was "burn, destroy, rob and arrest," the invaders, as though fearing Poland's unquenchable spirit, have...
