...their final "Declaration of Bogotá," the five countries pinpointed eight main areas for joint industrial development (metallurgy, chemicals and petrochemicals, fertilizers, food, electronics, timber, cellulose and manufactured metal products) and four other areas for nonindustrial development (roads, communications, electric power and banking). As a hint of what will come at the bigger hemisphere-wide meeting, the five also requested more say in the Alliance for Progress, which marked its fifth anniversary last week. The fruits of the Bogotá meeting may not show up for months, until committees work out the details and actual coordination of the broader programs...
Heavy industry-especially drop forging, steel pouring, metal cutting, riveting, drilling, air blasting, sawing and highspeed paper shredding-has deafened countless people over the years, but nothing much was done about it until 1948, when the New York Court of Appeals awarded $1,661.25 in compensation to a partially deafened drop-forge worker. As a result, most companies engaged in noisy work have started noise-abatement measures and regular tests of workers' hearing. Three states-California, Oregon and Washington-have legal limits to industrial noise; in California, for instance, ear protection must be issued if the noise level reaches...
Gold now constitutes 86% of all French reserves, compared with 73% at the end of 1964. Moreover, the government is squirreling away the precious metal at such a rate as to account for the entire net U.S. gold drain so far this year. Because France lost millions when the British devalued the pound in 1949, De Gaulle mistrusts keeping much of his country's reserves in either pounds or dollars. More than that, attacking the dollar helps him to reduce U.S. influence inside and outside France...
...Charlie Whitman and his mother returned together to Florida, he in a grey metal casket, she in a green-and-white one. With hundreds of curiosity seekers gawking and jostling in a rolling, palm-fringed cemetery in West Palm Beach, mother and son were buried with Catholic rites. Charlie had obviously been deranged, said the Whitmans' priest, and was not responsible for the sin of murder and therefore eligible for burial in hallowed ground...
Pandora's Box. An unknown aboriginal people built the washboard-like excavations possibly more than 1,000 years ago, using only the crudest implements, without benefit of metal tools or draft animals. Their motive remains a mystery, although some speculate that the shallow channels lying between the ridges may have carried water to or from grain or root crops grown on top of the long mounds...
