Last week the Russians gave a rude shock to British businessmen whose hopes had been roused by windy Communist talk of a $2.5 billion rise in East-West trade. Before a British commercial group in London, a Soviet trade expert read off a blunt message from Nikita Khrushchev: "Countries that are interested in increasing their exports to the Soviet Union should increase their purchases from it."

...president in 1930. Last week, from the U.S.-Greek-run school in Athens, which tenaciously survived the dictatorship of John Metaxas (1936-41), successive occupations by Italians, Germans and British, and a painful postwar rebuilding, President Davis, 63, announced his resignation.

And though this is absolutely his last book, he is still writing. "I am still amusing myself putting down different things that occur to me. But anything so written will...
Around this intrinsically fascinating story, Author Flavia Anderson has wrapped the bulky burlap of 50-odd volumes of research. Cliché-laden and crammed with minor figures, the book has a narrative pace roughly that of a Yangtze barge hauled upstream. But it is a historical trip worth taking for readers who can match Author Anderson's labor of love with a love of labor...
