This recipe is for a 9 x 13 pan, but use whatever equivalents you have. If you use a lightweight aluminum pan, place a large piece of stiff cardboard underneath the pan so that it won't be difficult to life when it is full of unset gelatin...
...Flesh. Handcuffs on the wrists of one prisoner were tightened so much that blood came through the pores. Hands and feet often swelled to unimaginable proportions and turned black. Jaws, noses, ribs, teeth and limbs, the prisoners charged, were deliberately broken and left unset. The sick and wounded were left in their own excrement for days on end. Fan belts or lengths of rubber turned buttocks of beaten prisoners into raw flesh. Sergeant Don MacPhail said that he was hung from a tree over three fresh graves and beaten with sticks. He was told that he would...
...Connemara blankets ($9.75), Royal Tara china and linen. The same merchandise is taxed up to 17% outside the duty-free area, but occasionally it can be found on sale for less than airport prices. Amsterdam's 25-store operation is a veritable shopping center, offering unset diamonds, a large selection of Dutch silverware, typewriters, electronic calculators and film projectors, besides standard items. Also in stock: more than a dozen models of European cars and motorcycles (available to Americans only) that enable customers to get on with the real purpose of their trip: seeing Europe...

American Airlines engineers lean toward the British Rolls-Royce RB.211, partly because they expect it to be cheaper as well as quieter than any comparable (33,000-40,000 Ibs. thrust) U.S.-built power plant. The potential drain on the U.S. balance of payments may tip the decision in favor of General Electric's CF6, which was derived from G.E.'s TF39, designed for Lockheed's far larger C-5A military transport...
...profusely illustrated volume worthy of deposit on any drawing-room table. Ivory Hammer 2 is the second annual report to be published in the U.S. It reprises the 1963-64 season, during which Sotheby's knocked down an unprecedented $37 million worth of art, from an 11.80-carat unset emerald ($65,800) to the bugle that blew the charge of the Light Brigade ($4,480). More than 250 illustrations, some in color, all priced in pounds and dollars, plus-for no good reason-an original short story by Wolf Mankowitz about an imaginary sale at Sotheby...
