...more Cubans whose turns on the flights may not come for months, Castro promises a cruel waiting period. To government agencies and state-run businesses went an order to fire all workers who sign up for the airlift. To make life doubly difficult and possibly discourage any more Cubans from signing up to leave, the Communists also announced that before departing, would-be exiles must return every peso withdrawn from their bank accounts since Sept. 28-the date of Castro's "open door" speech...
...million Burmese live among lush paddies in a land larger than France, and there is plenty of rice for all. There is plenty of almost nothing else.

Moreover, the airlines have captured four-fifths of the Atlantic business, and several shipping companies are in trouble. These cold facts do not, however, chill the warmly sentimental directors of the state-run Italian Line. In the greatest investment in money and tonnage ever made by a shipping company in a single year, the line is introducing not just one luxury liner but two. Last week, after an eight-day trip from Genoa, the 45,900-ton Michelangelo glided into Manhattan...
