...banker and real estate operator who grew rich in Milan's postwar boom, Zingone will ultimately pour $40 million into the venture. Zingonia began three years ago when he bought a cluster of five hamlets, two of which were conveniently classified as "depressed areas." There he is setting up prefabricated factories and warehouses for sale to firms attracted by the benefits given to depressed areas: ten-year freedom from taxes, plus cheap 5% government loans. So far 112 firms, German, Dutch and Swiss as well as Italian, have begun turning out products ranging from ceramics to motorcycles...
...weeks of shooting, Glenville's troupe will pour $500,000 into the economy of a country whose national budget totals $10 million. In gratitude, Soglo cleared the cramped harbor of Cotonou while Glenville shot dockside scenes; he allowed Cotonou to be plastered with billboards of Duvalier, lent his own Mercedes to the Burtons for the duration, and rented them the Ivory Coast's government villa for a brisk $1,000 a month...
...Communist Party is the second largest political organization in France. Outnumbered only by De Gaulle's massive Union pour la Nouvelle Republique, it can count on drawing at least 20% of the votes in any nationwide election, and on winning at least 10% of the seats in the National Assembly.

As a result of a decision handed down last week by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Georgia legislature in January will bestow the state's governorship on either Democrat Maddox, 51, or Republican Howard ("Bo") Callaway, 39, neither of whom received a majority in the November general election. The likely...
Local Touch. Along with the Narodny bank, which also has a highly successful Middle East branch in Beirut, the Russians operate the Banque Commerciale pour 1'Europe du Nord in Paris. Founded in 1921 by expatriate White Russians, the B.C.E.N.-as Parisians call it-was sold to the Communist government in 1925, has since become a major Paris bank and has assets of $624 million. Like the new Wozchod bank in Switzerland, the B.C.E.N. operates with a mainly local board; the president is Guy de Boysson, 45, a French nobleman who once held Communist Party membership...
