Lately, however, Glenmorangie has echoed with the noise of builders and fitters enlarging the distillery. The family-controlled business has expanded three times since 1977, when it first doubled output to meet growing world demand.

But the Administration fears that any slackening of U.S. support might lead to a major opportunity in Central America for Soviet-sponsored Cuba, abetted by the neighboring, Marxist-dominated Sandinista government of Nicaragua.
