...step was up to the U.S. In the first six months of this year, U.S. exports to the sterling area exceeded imports by $396 million, and that hardy old bogey, the dollar gap, was once again casting its specter over Europe. (Even the Germans have an unfavorable balance of trade with the U.S.) At this week's International Monetary Fund meeting in Washington, Thorneycroft and other European delegates will pose anew the old question: How can Europe play in the poker game of international finance and trade when the U.S. holds the chips?

...TURNER: A GIRL NEEDS MORE THAN A BOSOM), Miller writes what is probably the yeastiest scandal column printed anywhere. Besides his own bylined sinerama each week, thick-set ("six feet when I stand up straight") John Miller also grinds out five other Enquirer features: a tearjerker called "Millerdramas," a trade-talky TV column bylined John Jay, "Inside Politics" by James Miljae, "Hollywood Keyhole" by Gene Carter, and a second titter-tattle column over the byline of John Rellim (a rear-view Miller...

Nine months late, Bristol last week finally rolled out the first of 18 Britannia 312s for BOAC amid a chorus of complaints about the plane. It was still so full of bugs that further...
...Backdoor. Richard King became a boatman by chance: he made his exit from New York by stowing away on a Gulf-bound sailing ship, and the captain taught the youngster his trade. During the rugged days on the Southwest border, after Old Fuss-and-Feathers Scott and Old Rough-and-Ready Taylor shoved Mexico back across the Rio Grande, Captain King and his partner, Mifflin Kenedy, made themselves a big stake by transporting cargo upriver by boat as far as skilled captains and sound bottoms could navigate. In 1852 King made an overland trip from Brownsville to Corpus Christi...
