...dissatisfied-spirit return to haunt his family. The final cremation budget: $110,000. This included the price of a trip to far off Singapore by the rajah's eldest son; tinsel, gilded paper and assorted, brightly colored gewgaws required for the crematory tower were not available in import-restricted Indonesia. The family's 200-year-old palace was redecorated, and 1,200 roasting pigs were set aside for the nine-day public barbecue preceding the cremation...
...WILLIAM TELL (New Glaurus, Wis.), an import from Europe, is a lavish adaptation of Schiller's play particularly popular with Wisconsin's Swiss-Americans.

During those latter Eisenhower-era years, Douglas Dillon laid down U.S. policy for negotiations under the 38-nation General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).

...There will be short-term hardships but long-term gains for U.S. business. Britain is the U.S.'s best European customer, buying some $1.4 billion worth of goods in 1960. If the British enter the Common Market, they will be obliged to cut their tariffs on what they import from the six continental partners by some 50%*-which will put U.S. goods at a new disadvantage. But the freer movement of goods, capital and labor within the Market will spur Europe's overall growth, and in turn stimulate Europe's demand for U.S. products and raw materials...
