Ultimately, there is no sure solution for the simple reason that, like almost everything else in the modern technological world, a passenger-filled jet flying at 30,000 ft. is highly vulnerable...
...commanders tactfully suspended training flights, and the new regime requested that the flights remain suspended "temporarily." In every case, the spokesmen for the new regime were junior officers-lieutenants and captains. Nobody could be sure whether they were the shock troops of the revolution or its leaders. One reason for the secrecy may be the fact that the intellectual elite in Libya is so small, and most of its personalities so well known, that the mere naming of the new Cabinet will indicate whether the regime is pro-Nasserite, Marxist, or middle of the road. One rumor had it that...
...completely sastrous showing. The party's leaders knew better. To ensure fair elections, the military council had appointed one of Ghana's most distinguished judges to head an election commission.

The Akans, among whom Busia is a royal prince, are four times as nu merous in Ghana as the Ewe tribe, to which his adversary Gbedemah belongs...

The price of failure was borne by First State's shareholders, who do not enjoy any Government protection and who suddenly found their...
...major reason for the glut is bumper crops resulting from good weather. On top of that, the major exporting nations, except the U.S., have expanded their wheat acreage. In Australia, for example, the amount of farm land devoted to wheat has doubled in the last five years. Improved technology and a new high-yield strain of dwarf wheat have greatly reduced the annual import needs of food-shy India and Pakistan. Both countries now expect to become self-sufficient in wheat production by the mid-1970s...
