...Detractors of Mormons make much of records showing that the year before he started his book, Smith was convicted for hiring himself out to locate buried treasure by use of a magic "seer stone...
...legalistic strategy held good for a while. For two years Richard Levy, the union's attorney, ran up against the stone wall of Harvard's formidable briefs, and in early 1976 the regional director of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) accepted Harvard's argument.

French troops turned over a few barracks to the Djibouti army, but only after removing air conditioners, overhead fans and even fuses in an unnecessary show of Gallic arrogance. Some of the decrepit, stone, Arab-style buildings downtown got a new coat of whitewash, and a few strings of colored lights went up. But five days before the festivities no flags of the new republic were in evidence. They were being made in France and would not arrive until the last minute...
