...rattling the few gaunt thornbushes that dot the banks of the Zambezi River near Kasane. Potbellied kids squatted in the shade of round, white-walled mud huts while their mothers hacked with mattocks in the maize patches. Down at the riverbank, "Captain" Nelson Maibolwa puttered with twin 18-h.p. outboard motors slung on a ramshackle wood-and-iron pontoon. Behind him flowed the sun-dappled, grey-green Zambezi, where crocodiles, hippos and shoals of saber-toothed tiger-fish eternally wait their prey. There came the sound of a laboring truck engine, and brawny, coal-black Captain Nelson peered down...
...hats, and its 51-lb., 1,716-page spring catalogue, now being distributed to 10 million customers, has a suave honey-blonde model on the cover, with a $6,500 diamond ring and luxurious mink stoles inside. Sears continues its recent penchant for stocking original art, $3,000 outboard motorboats and gold-plated bathroom fixtures...
Banking is only part of the boom. The main island of New Providence will soon have a new $2,800,000 Bacardi rum factory; such firms as Bethlehem Steel, Whirlpool, Owens-Illinois Glass and Outboard Marine have come in with overseas sales offices.

Even the cold war is pumping life into the sultry economy...

Critics call broad-beamed Christian Fouchet, the 15th Education Minister in ten years, "the aircraft carrier with the outboard motor"-meaning that he has insufficient authority. Socialist Deputy Charles Privat recently protested that France is preparing "an embittered youth, 50% of which will have no choice but that of unskilled labor or of being unemployed...
...well over 1.5% of the expected '64 market. The Studebakers that Egbert showed off at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats last week are handsomely restyled-the first major redesigning that he has been able to carry out since 1961, when he left the presidency of an outboard motor company and accepted the challenge to revive Studebaker. Six inches longer and somewhat sleeker, the cars have abandoned the boxy look of the earlier Lark line. Even the Lark name is being downplayed in favor of model names such as Challenger, Cruiser and Daytona. But the Studebakers will face fierce...
