At the same time Hyman, who has made 28 transatlantic trips and is a self-styled "Americanophile," will step up his marketing in the U.S., where 50% of Viyella production already goes. To service such stateside customers as Manhattan Shirt, Hathaway Shirt, Kayser-Roth and Hart Schaffner & Marx, he intends to re-establish an American mill closed down by earlier management a decade ago in what he regards as an ill-advised cost-cutting move.

...Stein. Werner L. Gundersheimer, a Junior Fellow at work on a book in sixteenth century French history, reviews a study of Jewish-Gentile relations in medieval and modern times.
