...deeply entrenched oligarchs like the Brazilian industrialist who told a U.S. visitor: "You know, Brazil's growth is based in part on not paying taxes. If we paid, the government would spend it on foolishness like the army. Why do you keep talking about taxes? Taxation is an Anglo-Saxon fetish." Most important of all, it means listening to-and heeding -complaints like this from an Argentinean lawyer: "The U.S. projects one specific policy for the whole of Latin America. What works well in Mexico cannot possibly work effectively in Bolivia. Conditions are basically different. All this...
...Revolution at the Vicarage." Paul's recommendations will be debated at the Church Assembly next month. Meantime, his ideas touched off what London's Sunday Times called "a battle royal" among the clergy. In the Anglo-Catholic Church Times, the Venerable Guy Mayfield, Archdeacon of Hastings, summed up the report as "sometimes unhappy and amateurish and sometimes superfluous." Roman Catholics and Methodist ministers spoke up in envy of the freedom of speech that went with the "virtual irremovability" of the Anglican vicar.

All three planemakers proposed SSTs measuring about 210 ft. in length (v. 153 ft. for the longest Boeing 707 and 180 ft. for the Anglo-French Concorde supersonic). The big planes are designed to carry 150 to 210 passengers, depending on seating arrangements, and attain a speed of Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) v. a Mach 2.2 top speed for the Concorde. To withstand the heat generated by the higher speed...
...block after block through the center of town, and heavily mascaraed male and female prostitutes try to entice passers by into their "cages"-narrow stalls with wooden barred doors and a single bed. The cage dwellers charge only 42? per customer, but there are also upper-class brothels where Anglo-Indian girls receive patrons in high-ceilinged boudoirs with brilliant red curtains. Many of Bombay's estimated 70,000 whores are Devadasis, who practice prostitution in the name of religion. The custom dates back to the 3rd century, and, in its present form, Devadasi parents who seek a particular...
