...indication of the growing friendship between the Soviet Union and Egypt-as well as the cost of that friendship-is the fact that trade between the two nations jumped 26.5% in 1969 and will increase again this year. In addition to cotton, yarn and rice, Egypt now sells the Russians a wide variety of other products. Moscow stores this year, for example, are stocking Egyptian rum and brandy as well as large, expensive Egyptian furniture that barely fits into many Moscow apartments...

Knowledge of the demonstrators can be gained in part by reading the newspapers; but there is more significantly, an attitude instilled in Guardsmen through the instruction they receive from the army...
...tribe found in the Sikkim Himalayas, enforce incest taboos of astonishing complexity: a man may not couple with his wife's mother or elder sisters, the wife of his wife's older brother, the wives of his sons and younger brothers, and so on.

Nevertheless the incest taboos are still scrupulously observed...
