...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.

...seems that PBH is not tied in a static position to Harvard, but can do what it wants. So if Harvard is not "slanted" toward community work, it must be possible for PBH to fill that...

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