...exports but also the question of sovereignty: the Buenos Aires government understandably did not like to have the U.S. controlling any aspect of its foreign-trade policy. The Peron government even threatened to expropriate the companies if the export license was not granted. Fearful of that possibility, the three parent companies in Detroit also pressed Washington to meet Argentina's request...
...parents seem relatively unconcerned about their children's drinking. In fact, children who drink are often simply following the example set by their fathers and mothers.

Orphanage limitations against adoptions by parents of a particular faith have...
