...formed in the heroic mold. A protean figure of bewildering facility and adaptability, he was the link between high historical painting and rococo elegance, able to invest a pen drawing with as much tension and airy scale as a painted ceiling. But generally the 18th century seemed to be Anglo-French territory: Italy's long moment of cultural supremacy had gone, the locus of energy shifted...
...interests of oil before. As long ago as 1893, Grover Cleveland intervened in Brazil at the insistence of Standard Oil. In Iran, in 1953 (when "guess-who" was Vice President), the CIA engineered a coup against the popularly-supported government of Mossadegh, after that nationalist leader began nationalizing Anglo-Iranian Oil, the largest Western firm in that country.

The result was that British...
THERE is no clearer manifestation of the white, male, upper-class, Anglo-Saxon prejudice of Harvard's ruling elite than its open and proudly flaunted prejudice against women in admissions policy.

...compensate for anticipated worldwide inflation. All in all, the oil companies will pay $1.2 billion more in royalties and taxes this year, a 25% increase in income for the producing nations.

Last week's agreement is expected to bring the gulf countries an extra $10 billion in oil income over the next five years...
Many more Anglo-American layoffs could follow, even though most of Rolls seems likely to survive in one form or another. The profitable auto division will probably be sold by the company's receiver to another firm; at least three British automakers are preparing to bid for it. The government has introduced legislation to nationalize most of the engine divisions. Tory spokesmen, however, have been insisting that a nationalized Rolls will have "no obligation" to keep building RB-211 engines under the Lockheed contract, which proved Rolls' undoing...
