...less than on the conventional battlefields of World War II and Korea. If peace could come to South Vietnam today, I think most people would be amazed at its rapid recovery. For the Vietnamese are intelligent, energetic, and ambitious people. And they are determined to see their country prosper. I am confident that they can achieve that end -- if they but have the chance to do so, in peace and in their...
Fitting at 3 a.m. English tailor-made suits carry no labels, and the firms themselves seldom, if ever, advertise, prefer to prosper by word of mouth.

He divorces the machine from function and allows it to do what is natural for it. Says he: "In a mechanized environment a machine that...
...great-great-great-grandfather founded Richmond, that nostalgic capital of lost causes. In the 19th century the family invested less shrewdly, and by the time Harry was 15, the Byrds were on the brink of bankruptcy. He quit school, took over management of a family newspaper and made it prosper. He also staked out a small patch of orchard near the little town of Berryville, expanded his preserve until it encompassed 5,000 acres, and eventually became the world's largest individual applegrower. Once established as the squire of Rosemont, his baronial estate in the lush, pristine hills near...
