(Great Britain) Ltd., a new E.N.I. marketing subsidiary to which Mattei has given $8,400,000 and orders to build a chain of 70 super service stations in Britain...

In England Davis hobbed so intimately with the nobs that the P.M., Arthur Balfour, used to drop by at his rooms for a shank-of-the-morning snack. In Venezuela he ate his first avocado, promptly introduced the fruit to the U.S. market. In Cuba he wrote fiery dispatches that, front-paged by Hearst, helped to push the U.S. into war with Spain; and once war was declared, R.H.D.'s spectacular reports on the Rough Riders helped...
