...Ankara, which in turn has protested violently to the United Nations and anyone else who will listen. And of late the sound of gunfire is being heard once again in the island's isolated villages. Early last month shooting resumed at Famagusta. On Feb. 19 a Turkish Cypriot woodsman was killed near Kokkina. When there was a flurry of gunfire last week at Ambelikou, a tiny Turkish Cypriot village near the town of Lefka, Ankara responded with a roar of anger. A naval flotilla of 35 vessels normally based at Izmir put to sea bound for Iskenderun, just...
...mansion home of the chief of state, it somehow seemed a remarkable affair. But for Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson it all fit easily and naturally as a woodsman's felt crusher.

You can get only one a year, you know.") He personally edits each entry in the Bean mail-order catalogue, and his spare, disarming style has been used in advertising textbooks as exemplary...
...Nature's Wonderland" is the creation of General Mills' cereal-marketing manager, Cyril Plattes, 45. A passionate woodsman who keeps a canoe stashed handy to his Minneapolis home for quick response to the call of the wild, Plattes dreamed of such a book all the time he was stuffing model cars and magic tricks into cereal boxes. "If we're going to give the kids something," says he, "let's give them something to help them rather than, the usual old blah." Forsaking blah. Plat tes commissioned Dr. Walter J. Breckenridge, director of Minnesota...
