...foresees a boat in some distant sea with a Russia-aimed bomb on board. At the throttle is a German and at the rudder a Briton. Luxembourgeois, Belgians and Dutchmen run the galley, and a Frenchman (if he can be enticed on board at all) is topside yelling "to port" while an Italian beside him shouts "to starboard." Use of the Bomb itself would happen only on U.S. orders. To Gaullists, U.S. insistence on a seaborne MLF, rather than one based on solid ground in Europe (which U.S. NATO commanders have always wanted), means further evidence that essentially...
...Buenos Aires Bookkeeper José Menendez was struck by the region's trading possibilities; ships sailing around the Horn stopped to replenish, and Indians were ready to trade pelts, ambergris and even grazing rights for trinkets and tobacco. Menendez set up a trading post at Punta Arenas, a port and penal settlement, and became friendly with a German emigrant, Elias Braun, who farmed near by. In 1895 Braun's eldest son, Mauricio, married Menendez' eldest daughter, Josefina; joined to romance was a practical mixing of land and trade. La Anonima, now run by their children, was started...
Show Me. Home is almost devoid of personal ambition. Asked last year if he had ever thought of becoming Prime Minister, he shook his head and explained: "After I had dipped fairly freely into my first bottle of port, my father said to me: 'You know, the most important thing in life is to know when to stop.'

Replied the Foreign Secretary: "Put your hand on my forehead, and feel my pulse...
Before its channel to the sea silted up, Bruges was a thriving port, grown wealthy under its Burgundian duke, Philip the Good, from banking and the wool trade with England. The prince's financial adviser, Hippolytus de Berthoz, presumably commissioned both triptychs to honor his saint's name. The heraldry painted on the outer faces of the triptych suggests that it was done some time between 1480 and 1494, almost certainly by a master painter in the Guild of St. Luke, a medieval union that included saddlers and glassworkers...
...grain elevators (total capacity: 160 million bushels), also buy some fresh supplies from farmers and, in all probability, buy some more from the U.S. Government's wheat hoard of more than a billion bushels. Total costs to the company for purchasing the price-supported wheat, shipping it to port and loading it aboard ships will average about $2.30 a bushel. But Cargill will sell it to the Soviets at the world market price of about $1.75 a bushel. To make up the difference, it will receive a Government export subsidy of 550 or more a bushel (payable...
