In his last years, while the townspeople along "Jim Hill's main line" variously called him a robber baron or praised his drive and enterprise, the old tycoon used to spend hours every week in communion with his romantic French artists...

The device, still secret, breaks up jet exhaust into many small streams, diffuses them to squelch noise...
...concentrated 95% of its aid in key countries it hopes to win. In Egypt, Syria, India, Afghanistan, Indonesia and Yugoslavia, the total Soviet program during the last 2½ years has been double the free world's. The U.S. grants aid only when it considers a project economically sound; Russia picks projects largely for propaganda value, makes sure that they are plain for all to see, e.g., a soccer stadium in Burma, a road-paving job in Kabul...
