Leopard in the Garden. Such an occasion clearly called for an exchange of gifts, and they were lavish. The President gave the 71-year-old monarch a steel-and-silver replica of the sword General George Washington carried throughout most of the Revolutionary War, a Tiffany silver desk set, a 16-mm. movie projector with films of Selassie's red-carpet arrival at Washington's Union Station and an autographed photograph of himself in a silver frame. The Emperor presented the President with an Ethiopian Bible copied by hand on parchment bound in silver and overlaid with...
...influence in his economic thinking. As a quid pro quo for restrictions on wage raises, Buda and Pest have convinced Wilson that he needs control over corporate profits and dividends and a tax on capital.

It also eroded the river bed, which lowered the water level still more. Duisburg's vital harbor got shallower and shallower. Dredging the harbor to keep pace with the fall of the river would have narrowed its sloping...
Shaky Bridge. The daring operation has been under way since 1955, and it is working well. One and a half square miles of Duisburg, including streets, wharves, shipyards, steel mills, railroad yards and parks, is sinking on schedule But as the city prospered, traffic congestion on Duisburg streets got worse and worse, and the obvious solution, a mile-long highway bridge to carry traffic over the tangle of factories, railroads and waterways, seemed impossible because of the sinking ground...
