...Indians as well as a succession of U.S. Presidents, gold-plated Texans, royal personages of varying distinction, business tycoons, theatrical celebrities and battalions of generals and retired generals.

Besides such standard accouterments as a lake for waterskiing, swimming pools, a 36-hole golf course, ski slopes, riding and hiking trails, it has an ice palace, a stadium...
...German steelmakers and The Netherlands' Hoogovens have joined forces to build a $60 million ore-concentrating plant, the first of its kind in Europe, at Rotterdam's Europoort industrial complex.

Normally, European-owned factories switch workers to other assignments or put them on half-day shifts, but almost never fire them outright. Machines Bull-General Electric a month ago drew black...
...mysterious "they" are out to get him, he wants to throw an F.B.I, wiretap on every single telephone conversation in the U.S., to be taped and stored in computers, so he can spot conspiracies against himself. He conceives of a grand union of the U.S. with Canada and Scandinavia, whose first President will be, of course, Hollenbach, who will then seize the rest of Europe by force...
