...after all the investment they can attract. Second are those who would bring in industries which will eventually be phased out but which will train the Argentine middle class in special entreprenurial skills. Finally there are those who remember the days when England owned all the Argentine transport system and many of the valuable resources. This is the group which is against any U.S. investment because it probably will exploit a resource Argentina is already rich in instead of developing an industry the country needs. Romero says that he finds himself somewhere between the second and third groups...
...thought. Only a few days before his death, on a visit to San Francisco, he insisted on being taken to the Haight-Ashbury beatnik district to observe how today's far-out young play. Whatever was new fascinated him; he could sense development and innovation. Recently, discussing the supersonic transport with one of his reporters, he asked: "When will I be able to fly in it?" He was also interested in the Rule of Law, which became practically a crusade with him as he persuaded Presidents and Prime Ministers to push the cause of international...
...contest was inspired, says Publisher Piel, by hopes of a design breakthrough applicable to supersonic transport. According to the judges, none appeared. Said Princeton Professor David C.

...contract was signed on Feb. 7. Transporting the painting to the U.S. involved security precautions and scientific hugger-mugger worthy of Maxwell Smart. Code name for the painting was "the Bird." To transport Ginevra, a $52.95 American Tourister three-suiter was lined with Styrofoam that would cushion any bumps or jolts. But before the Bird could be nested, there were the problems of humidity and temperature to solve; in the Prince's vaults, where Ginevra had been kept, the temperature is 44°, humidity 55%. If the wood-panel oil heated or dried too quickly, the paint surface might...
