But there was the problem of the car: it wasn't the regulation Rolls. And then, she had to make a call to Los Angeles. Finally, she had to put on her green and gold sari to prepare herself for the adulation of her fans. But the crowd, whom she had kept waiting for 90 minutes, had other ideas. They booed, hissed...

Two dozen people sought shelter in a culvert, but an Israeli...
...Portugal and Norway-that do not have their own major armaments industries. Britain does a good business in selling arms on the Continent and around the world. From 1960 to 1963, the French did well in foreign sales, thanks largely to the popularity of their light tanks and the Mystère II interceptor jet. West Germany still relies heavily on arms purchases from the U.S., but its own defense industry, just emerging from a postwar eclipse, is beginning to look for more export markets...
