...hemisphere than Guatemala could ever have been. It is often argued that the Monroe Doctrine, the product of a simpler time, applies only to old-fashioned aggression. But in his wisdom, Monroe spoke for generations unborn and perils unenvisioned. What he declared to be dangerous to the U.S.'s peace and safety was "any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere . . . interposition in any form."

As an example, he singled out the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York and New Jersey, where 4,400 assorted scientists and engineers under the leadership of Physicist James Fisk spend...

Three times off Newport last week, Weatherly trounced Ross Anderson's Nefertiti to make a runaway of their climactic duel for the right to defend the America's Cup next month against Australia's Gretel. In each of the three races, the boat skippered by Bus Mosbacher won by a bigger margin...
