Almost from the start, sales paid the workshop's way. Soon Peruvian Government officials began to take an interest. Men like Haya de la Torre, chief of the dominant APRA party, dropped in for a look and stayed to listen. Pipe-puffing Truman Bailey's program for Peru's back-country Indians,,they agreed, made sense. Now big U.S. companies (Westinghouse for one) are bidding for exclusive foreign sales rights. Bailey, who will stay with the, project, is not rushing into the export field. But both he and the Peruvian Government, which needs dollar credits, are looking...
...Navigator. He likes to play the fiddle (favorite composers: Bach, Mozart), and to sail a boat. In sailing, his system is to set the sail, make it fast, and with no thought of velocity or energy, loll back while the boat drifts. He smokes a pipe, but never drinks...

Each of the pea-sized pellets contains in a clay matrix a few husked germs of Lehmann's Lovegrass (a hardy, dry-weather forage crop), a dash of fertilizer and a pinch of insect-&-rodent repellent.

Slovakia's deviation from the national pattern was the first concern of the Communists and their veteran boss, Vice Premier Klement Gottwald (who was a good bet to be Czechoslovakia's next Premier). Pipe-puffing Comrade Gottwald started out by fighting Russia as an Austro-Hungarian sergeant major in World War I, has been fighting for Communism ever since. Like Yugoslavia's Tito he is a former metalworker, and like France's Thorez he sat out the war in Moscow. Like both, he knows how to deal with overly independent elements...
