...Writer John McPhee spent ten days there and only part of the nights and he ate-as the editorial business manager will discover-without dipping a finger in a fountain. In fact, he ate his way through such delights as soft-shelled crab on a bun, walnut fried Boston sole, partridge with grapes of Almeria, banana dogs, smoked eel of the river Tagus, Kambing Masak Bugis and A jam Panggang-and one ham on rye to go.

Since wages are un likely ever to be rolled back, the ship ping industry's sole chance of getting off the federal dole ($245 million in 1963) is to replace men with machines. Steaming ahead of all the others in that direction, Lykes Bros. Steamship Co. last week asked the Government for an unusual subsidy: to put up, in the interest of efficiency, half...
