...while, Per&243;n built his dream of world power for Argentina. With war-built exchange reserves of $1.6 billion, he bought the telephone system, the decrepit British railways, plus endless equipment for such enterprises as a battery factory, a merchant marine, airlines, petrolieum refineries, motorcycle factories. He subsidized wheat and meat for workers' tables, de-emphasized them as exports unbefitting a modern industrial nation. Everyone, high and low, sizzled steak for lunch...
...feels that it has the three-year transitional period to make Algeria "neutral toward the West," not the East. During the three years, it will also be up to France to weave a tissue of economic ties that will survive.

Equally skillful in sorting the wheat from the chaff is O. (for Oscar) Henry Brandon, 45, of the London Sunday Times. Urbane, Czech-born Henry Brandon, a naturalized Briton, ranges with catholic and insatiable curiosity over the entire U.S., detailing everything from traffic jams to supermarkets. "Europe has become more and more Americanized," he says, "so Europeans are greatly interested in how the U.S. copes with such things." Best known for his probing interviews, he has lugged his tape recorder into sessions with Leonard Bernstein, Marilyn Monroe, Reinhold Niebuhr, Wernher von Braun, a spate of politicians from Nixon to Kennedy...
