...palm swift glues the nest with saliva to the side of a palm frond; then glues the eggs to the nest. To hatch the eggs, the parent birds (taking turns) grip the back of the nest with their feet, nestle themselves against the eggs. When the young hatch, their parents help them to hold their perilous perch until they are ready...
...year-old Amadeo Peter Giannini is probably the world's most ardent exponent of branch banking. His huge Bank of America, fourth largest bank in the U.S., is an agglomerate of 30 years of Giannini acquisitions. Its 487 branches blanket the state of California. Its parent company, Transamerica Corp.

...company's juiciest properties. I.T. & T. has poured $62,000,000 into Compañia Telefónica Nacional de Españia, famed in the Spanish Revolution for its indestructible Madrid office building.* Telefónica has been doing all right, although not for its parent. The state of I.T. & T.'s $40,000,000 investment in the European properties of International Standard Electric is more obscure: its manufacturing plants in Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium and France are now presumably working for Hitler. But the prospects when peace comes are all on I.T. & T.'s side...
