They had not reckoned on Kamaraj, a tough, old-line politician, who controls Madras state; he is not above putting the arm on businessmen and just about everybody else in sight to fill the party's coffers.

In 1946, a DC-3 flew into a Swiss Alp, inflicting minor injury on itself and passengers, who disembarked. Thereupon, the plane sank out of sight into a glacier's soft snow. The thrifty Swiss calculate that the glacier, moving ponderously down the mountain, will discharge its cold-frozen possession six centuries hence-presumably in flyable condition...
