At that, Princess Maria Cristina decided no settlement, no divorce, and sued for a sizable chunk of the Patiño fortune on the reasonably sound ground that, as a Bolivian, Patiño is subject to the Bolivian law that foreign divorces are legal only when the nation in which the marriage was performed (in this case, divorceless Spain) permits divorce...
Producers of unsaturated fats, such as Mazola Corn Oil and Wesson Oil, were ready, too. They took full-page ads in the nation's newspapers to echo the A.H.A. action.

But the helicopter lines make no money because their aircraft are small and expensive to maintain. They have to depend on Government subsidy, which for the three lines amounted to $4,765,000 in the fiscal year ending last June...
