...stealing atomic minerals, interfering with the coffee market, sucking out exorbitant profits, monopolizing Brazilian industry (or, on the other hand, refusing to invest in Brazil). Career Diplomat John Moors Cabot, who built a reputation in Sweden from 1954 to 1957 as an ambassador willing to speak up anywhere any time for the U.S., was appalled at such complaints when he arrived in July to be U.S. ambassador. Last week, in a speech, he ticked off 19 major U.S. contributions to Brazil's welfare and prosperity. Among them...
...imports are greater than exports, and they are growing faster than exports. In particular, Canada's deficit with its biggest trading partner, the U.S., is growing. The huge flow of long-term U.S. investment, which since the war has filled the trade gap, is slackening.

TV Eyes, says San Francisco's crew-cut professional Eye, Hal Lipsett, are altogether too tough. They ignore the real Eye's tricky devices and subtle techniques-the telephone tap, the hidden recorder, the infrared camera...
...they were notably intelligent. Things happened to them: they faced pistols, boredom, and bad stomachs from too many foul meals eaten on the run. Hammett's Sam Spade soon found an acceptable running mate in Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe who would tell the girls: "The first time we met, I told you I was a detective. Get it through your lovely head. I work at it, lady. I don't play at it." At his best, the TV Private Eye operates in that tradition...
