...factory making only 30,000 would not work. The car would be too expensive. He said we should come back when we were ready to produce 120,000 a year." To illustrate the lessons of productivity, Khrushchev even rambled off into Biblical history, inaccurately recalling that Christ had fed 40,000 persons with a single loaf of bread. "But no one knows if all got enough to eat," he added. "If they had, they would not have left Palestine...
...behind the building-boom facade, he operated a corrupt police state, with lush graft for insiders and imprisonment and torture for opponents. In P.J.'s torture chambers, prisoners were slashed with razors, burned with cigarettes, forced to sit for hours on blocks of ice.

The nut, leaking gas, was dropped through a ring of flaming gas jets. The gas inside the nut exploded, blowing away the shell. "It was a humdinger," says Davis' Dean Roy Bainer. "Shelled 900 nuts an hour, and the meat just...
...nation's largest church, and in Australia it can claim a healthy 33% of a growing population. Yet Australia still looks back to England for its archbishops, and has been sluggish in ministering to postwar waves of non-British immigrants. Now Anglican hegemony is threatened by immigration-fed Roman Catholicism. Admits one Aussie priest: "We've been lazy, resting on our oars.
