...world's most mysterious and powerful billionaire. Shrewd and ruthless, the shadowy figure of Juan March has floated across the face of Europe for more than half a century, bringing public officials low, underwriting dictators, helping to finance two world wars (on both sides), and buying himself virtual immunity from the law. With characteristic foresight, March bankrolled Dictator Francisco Franco's Spanish Civil War campaign. Today, still Franco's creditor and a powerful voice in Spanish affairs, he boasts a personal fortune that is said to match the U.S.'s entire foreign aid program to Spain...

...stupas and tinkling bells, its 8,500,000 people were among the most backward in Southeast Asia, beset by malaria, illiteracy and preyed upon by landlords and moneylenders. In 1951 a revolution backed by India toppled the ruling Rana family, who for a hundred years had kept successive Kings virtual prisoners, and King Tribhuvan was restored to power. When the ailing Tribhuvan died in 1955, rule passed to his young (34) son, King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Deva...
