...this is known by those who keep, and are fit to keep cats, but the knowledge has seldom been applied as a policy toward the greatest of cats-the lion. This book was written to prove that the principle-don't hurt cats and they won't hurt you-is sound for lions even in the lion's own domain. Unlike most books about pets, which can only be classed with disposable Kitty Litter, this one is not sentimental. The subject, a female felis leo somaliensis, is too big for that. This great creature...
Remembering the stinking holes of Poland's Auschwitz, the smoking crematoriums of Germany, the boneyards and mass graves of the Ukraine, vengeful Israelis are not disposed to argue the fine points of the law. Instead, they debate what punishment could possibly fit the crime. Hanging, most agree, is too easy. Said one survivor of Eichmann's camps: "He should be made to live under the very same conditions that we lived in the camps, eat the same crumbs of dried bread, work the same, smell the same putrid odors from the furnaces. Let's see how long...
...into the form of a squat, barrel-chested, brass-voiced character named John Milton Addison. A man of infinite talents, Addison, 36, is the announced candidate for Governor under the party banner he created for that purpose: the "Clean 'Em Out Right Party."

...five nations is as big as Florida, and all of them would fit into Texas with plenty of Texas left over. The region's total population is about 12 million, with a per capita annual income of $239, which is at least double China's or India's. To take advantage of this market and to pool resources for overall development, the five nations agreed in 1951 to a progressive freeing of trade. Last year they standardized import duties on 5% of their imports, thereby built a Central America-wide protective tariff wall around these items. Early...
...instinct, Delta was the first to put the pure-jet DC-8 into service last year. Now, with six of the big jets flying, Delta is all set on its long-range routes, which stretch from New York south to Venezuela and west to Fort Worth. The 880 should fit in perfectly on Delta's medium-range (less than 1,000 miles) routes, give the line quite a jump on the competition. Says President Woolman, who expects to have ten of the planes operating by fall: "The 880 is just what I was looking for. The lack of vibration...
