Realizing that its other concessions in the Middle East and North Africa might be nationalized too?in fact several of them have been?BP's management foresightedly stepped up the search for oil in politically friendly (though environmentally frigid) climates, from the North Sea to the Labrador shores and Alaska's North Slope. The company began buying leases in Alaska as early as 1959, and brought in a North Sea gas field in 1965. BP's competent but colorless management has never been strong on marketing, preferring to sell crude in bulk...
...more than 560,000 miles that have carried him to 57 countries since he became Secretary of State in September 1973.

Reporter-Researcher Mary Themo, while getting together the pictures of pets that accompany the story, took time off to shop for a Christmas pet for her daughter Tracy...
Medicine, dispensed by the proverbial Florence Nightingale across the river, is still a novelty--therefore to be avoided. Prescriptions are seldom followed and infant mortality is high. Several times a week, the familiar orange helicopter from the hospital at Blanc Sablon, the border town between Quebec and Labrador, lands on the riverbank to collect and deposit patients on the orders of the nurse. It is not unusual for parents to try to convince her that healthy babies are in fact sick, thereby placing the child in the hands of the hospital and reducing the burden of extra dependents until...
