...facilities ($70 million), expansion of the U.S. Government-owned nickel plant at Nicaro ($37 million). The boom shows no sign of slackening. Planned for the future: a $147 million expansion program by a subsidiary of American & Foreign Power Co.. a $75 million nickel-mining operation by a Freeport Sulphur Co. subsidiary. Even tourism, one of Cuba's three top industries, has held up through all the political troubles. For tropical beaches, open gambling and a throbbing night life, an estimated 350,000 visitors will have spent $35 million by the end of this year...
...March the General Services Administration agreed to buy up to 271 million Ibs. of nickel from Freeport Sulphur Co. by July 1965, thus giving Freeport incentive to build new nickel-producing facilities in Cuba and a $100 million refinery in Louisiana. Freeport's facilities will produce 50 million Ibs. of nickel annually, of which the U.S. will have the right to take up to 30% for stockpiling. The U.S. also contracted with M.A. Hanna Co.

And by successfully going back 30 years to trip Du Pont, trustbusters had won the right to try any company for things...
...leading prophet and pressagent. Like all Miller's books, this one contains great jambalayas of jiggery-pokery about everything under the midnight sun, from atomic stockpiling (anti) to Zulus (pro). But the early passages about Miller at Big Sur-wuffling away at the wild waves, sitting in hot sulphur baths, dragging his groceries a mile and a half in a cart-are attractive to anyone with a notion to get away from it all. Unfortunately, into all such private Edens some pilgrims must come, and the Miller reader knows with a sinking heart that each will be a genius...
