...little spending power by Northamerican standards. As a consequence, the few necessary manufactured goods and all capital goods are imported, also largely from the United States. Luxury goods are concentrated, of course, in the few lavishly wealthy homes.

General Dynamics last year overtook Lockheed as the U.S.'s largest defense contractor (total 1974 sales: about $2 billion), but the order comes...
