...satellite industries. From Madagascar to Greenland, the catch of the sea, ranging from the lordly tuna through the pedestrian cod and herring to the rarer but often treasured whale and shark, is industriously smoked, fried, salted, baked, dried, roasted, stewed, pickled, casseroled or even eaten half-rotten (as in Iceland) or quite raw (as in Japan...
...Brazilians and the French have vied with gunboats over Brittany lobster boats working in traditional Brazilian fishing waters. Icelandic gunboats chased British trawlers from Iceland's cod grounds, and the Danes are shooing them away from the Faeroe Islands. Norway is chasing Swedish fishermen from grounds that the Swedes have fished for hundreds of years. Japanese boats are barred from South Korea, badgered by the Russians in the North Pacific. Irish corvettes have scattered Dutchmen and Belgians from Ireland's herring grounds, and Canada last year ordered a Russian fleet out of the Bay of Fundy. Even...
...stones, a British military attaché showed his contempt for the mob by parading in front of the embassy playing his bagpipes. In his glass-strewn office, Ambassador Gilchrist finally received a delegation of the rioters. A blunt, spade-bearded Scot who once dispersed an anti-British mob in Iceland by playing Chopin records from a phonograph set in his office window, Gilchrist explained to the rioters that the United Nations had sanctioned Malaysia, dismissed them with a contemptuous "Hidup [long live] U Thant...

...flight follows a great circle route, somewhat extended to keep over international waters. From Havana, the plane flies northeast over the Atlantic parallel to the U.S. coastline; roughly opposite Norfolk, Va., it zigs to a course between Greenland and Iceland to a point beyond the North Cape, then zags southward toward Murmansk-its first landfall after Havana. Flying time to Moscow: 13 hr. :55 min. Bucking headwinds in the other direction, the flight takes 18 hours, and even with a refueling stop at Murmansk the planes often reach Havana with a perilously low fuel reserve...
