...Guanizuil Ranch in western Argentina covers 2,470,000 acres v. 865,000 acres for the King Ranch...
...swells of Rhode Island Sound-two of the handsomest, most dangerous twelve-meter yachts to visit U.S. waters.

Because of its specialization, careful planning and tight control of inventories, the company sells some equipment for 10% to 20% less than IBM, claims that its computers are 98% efficient v. 90% for most computers. No customer has been more impressed than the U.S. Government, whose business accounts for 75% of Control Data's output; it has installed Control Data computers on submarines to target in Polaris missiles...
