...good order from Japan for electrical goods made by a St. Louis firm," says San Francisco Exporter James Baker. "Now the Japanese have found a substitute company in Korea." The nearly complete shutdown of 24 ports has also forced the layoff of thousands of truckers, customs inspectors and train workmen...
There are few things the British like better than a thundering good argument about crime and punishment. Some of the great public and parliamentary debates in postwar Britain have been concerned with the end of flogging (1948), the abolition of hanging (1965), the Great Train Robbery of 1963, and the reform of the prison system in the mid-1960s.

The other characters-old generation and new-are still in the shallows, still fashionably suffering a loss of faith as if it were a briefcase left on a train.
