Japan has been made conscious of China's natural advantages-most important of which were a huge silver reserve and a national instinct for cozenage-by the way every Japanese move in the currency war has turned...
...this slippery-skulled Greek gave them. But under his jumping-jack direction the staid Boston Symphony, churned into a lather of excitement, surpassed itself. Delighted Boston critics gave Mitropoulos full marks, even hinted at comparisons with the great Koussevitzky himself.

What has plagued navigators is that variation is not only different for different localities, but that from year to year the variation varies because the magnetic pole moves.
