...embryonic Adolfs are brought to term in the wombs of compliant Indian women, then sent to Rio and put on the world adoption market. Mengele schemes to place them with families in Europe and North America that most closely resemble the parental environment of the original Hitler. The principal qualification: mothers have to be much younger than the fathers-retired civil servants who must die when the ditto Hitlers are about 14 years old.

After $3 billion in development costs and years of delay, the supersonic Concorde went into commercial service last week.

We touched down in Dakar, West Africa, right on schedule, refueled and were on our way to Rio in an hour. A minor engine problem held our speed below mach 1 for an extra 20 min., but it was corrected and we landed in Rio at 4:10 p.m. local time, 40 min. behind schedule. It didn't matter. We had sipped Gevrey Chambertin (1961) at twice...
