...grown fastest in Europe's rich soil. In Florence and Milan, the Rockefellers' International Basic Economy Corp. has opened eight supermarkets that the Italians fondly call "the Americano stores"; the Americanos have brought down the price of pasta as much as 40%. In Belgium, Chicago's Jewel Tea and Antwerp's Grand Bazar company have combined to open eleven supermarkets in the past two years, and last fortnight announced plans to open four more.

Among the objects was a jewel case on the cover of which was a silver disk showing a soft-fleshed Nereid...

Giacometti says his first clips and buttons were made "to earn some money" and that, in recent years, he has refused invitations to make some jewelry because he has not been able to "summon up enough interest...
