...suggested a Royal Solution. Onassis' control of such a large block of stock, argued the lawyer, is illegal under the company's charter, which limits individual shareholders to 10,000 apiece. Onassis nominally complies with this by holding most of his stock in the names of 48 Panamanian shipping companies, but Rainier may be able to find a judge who agrees that Ari should be forced by law to sell his shares or give up his voting rights. Then, presumably, the way would be clear for Rainier to set about shaping his princely domain into another St. Tropez...
...Panamanian was more pleased with Johnson's attitude than President Marco Robles. Taking office nine months after the bloody January 1964 riots, Robles put a damper on fiery nationalists, sought a reasonable solution with the U.S. over the canal crisis. An honest and decisive administrator, he has pushed through a much-needed tax reform, has brought new stability and order to Panama. This week he must deliver his state-of-the-nation address to the Panamanian National Assembly. He can report that his reasonable approach has accomplished far more for Panama than all the hotheads ever have...
Typical of their frustration is the case of the Panamanian-based Mayan Line steamship company. Under the 1952 ruling, Mayan went into two U.S. courts in Louisiana with a $668,000 claim against Cuba for unpaid shipping charges, and won uncontested judgments in both.

But the Czech embassy, caretaker for Castro in Washington, invoked sovereign immunity. The State Department assented, and the attachment was thrown out. (Backing up the doctrine was an informal agreement between...
...Panamanian freighter El Corral and onto Pier 27 in Belgium's port of Antwerp last week tramped 867 head of Texas cattle−on a one-way trip. They were the forerunners of a U.S. attempt to successfully export U.S. beef on the hoof to Europe, which has long had a prejudice against more easily transported frozen beef. The cattle were not the only American arrivals in European ports. U.S. farm exports are pouring into the Common Market at so fast a pace that they have become a major point of discord at Kennedy Round meetings between...
...given to such human emotions would shock many of their fans. Indeed, though many of their followers like to think otherwise, the rumors that the flames of romance that Rudi and Margot kindle onstage also rage offstage are false. Margot is married to Dr. Roberto ("Tito") Arias, 46, former Panamanian Ambassador to Britain. Arias, who was shot by a political enemy in Panama last June, is paralyzed from the neck down, and Margot spends three hours on the train every day in order to visit him in the hospital in Buckingham shire, where he is being treated...
