...even more serious plot. Arrested on June 22 and accused of "dangerous designs and treasonable conspiracies against the rights and liberties of the United States of America," Matthews admitted that he had received more than ?100 from Tory Governor William Tryon, at Tryon's headquarters aboard the transport Duchess of Gordon, mostly for the purchase of guns to arm Tory sympathizers...
...Breakup. Specifically, the legislation would give the Federal Trade Commission authority to supervise the breakup. The companies, which now produce, refine, transport and market their oil, would have 18 months to determine what operations to jettison, and five years to sell them off. A company could become an exploring and producing firm exclusively or a refiner-marketer.

The industrial diamond concession in northeastern Angola will produce less than half its prewar output of 2 million carats this year. Internal transport is a shambles: dozens of key bridges and roads have been destroyed. Perhaps the most hopeful note for Neto is that production of crude at Gulf Oil's refinery in Cabinda has been resumed; the $500 million annual royalties from the facility now account for 80% of Angola...
