What they do not appear to realize is that it is extremely dangerous, and that the danger does not stem from the Soviet short-range weapons on the island or even from the Soviet fishing port. It seems from the dramatic ideological effect the name of Cuba manages to produce on our country and on the rest of Latin America...
Headquarters City. New York is also the major port of entry into the U.S., and Idlewild-the busiest airport in the world -has become a kind of sub-city in itself. As large as all Manhattan from 42nd Street to the Battery, Idlewild has developed a range of consumer services that include banking, dentistry, photographic studios, and a $275,000 animal motel where bears can bed down for $2.50 a day, tigers for $5, bulls for $7 and wolves...

Back to Burgundy. McWatters bases his business strategy on the hard fact that the day is past when wine merchants could live on the custom of a wealthy handful who regarded a cellar as incomplete if it did not include a pipe (126 gallons) of carefully chosen port. Now wine buyers are mostly a modest lot who purchase a few bottles at a time. But there are more of them. Harvey's today exports to 130 countries. Its Bristol Cream, Milk and Dry have one-third of the growing sherry market in the U.S. (where most people assume that...
