Harriman, Hailsham and their advisers met at the British embassy; after about a three-hour daily meeting with the Soviets in Spiridonovka Palace, the Westerners talked over the day's negotiations in the U.S. embassy "tank," a small room safe (hopefully) from ubiquitous hidden Soviet listening devices. During one informal evening that he spent chatting with U.S. correspondents at the Sovietskaya Hotel, Harriman suddenly looked up at the ceiling and said, "Mr. Khrushchev, if you hear what I am saying...
...donors was U.S. Ambassador George F. Kennan, on his last day of duty in Belgrade. U.S. Air Force planes from bases all over Europe flew in with help; one entire U.S. Army hospital was moved to the scene from Germany. Twenty Yugoslav medical teams were rushed into Skoplje, army tank trucks brought in desperately needed fresh water, and volunteer workers signed up to help clear away the debris. At least 80% of Skoplje's buildings were destroyed or badly damaged, all utilities disrupted, and more than 100,000 people made homeless in a few seconds. By week...
...publicly scrap for defense contracts. Most industries live more from civilian orders than from guns, but there are signs that some are beginning to count on government arms spending. The West German government's announcement last week that it will spend $800 million on speedy, new German-built tanks and tank destroyers will raise the amount of German industry dependent on defense contracts to 4% ; already the German aircraft industry, which employs 32,000 people, is 90% dependent on government spending...

But on many manufactured items, Canadian productivity and pricing simply cannot compete. "Several firms have been to see us about buying their hydraulic systems," says Cockshutt's George Vincent. "When we tell them what we're buying...
Hailwood leaned forward along the M.V.'s gas tank, resting his chin on a sponge rubber shock absorber, hiking his legs up like a jockey. He rocketed through "The Bungalow"-a series of left and right bends-at more than 100 m.p.h., steering by shifting his weight from side to side. Flat out on the straights, he gunned up to 150 m.p.h. Hailwood sped six times around the twisting course and flashed across the finish line more than 2 min. ahead of his closest competitor. Astonished officials announced that he had broken the course record with an average speed...
