Geneva report states Aly Khan to run the Aga Khan’s racing stables and breeding farms, valued in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, after his father asked him to sacrifice the Imam position and leadership of Ismaili Moslems to manage the racing interests. Mrs Germaine Vuillier notes the Aga’s trust and the long tradition behind the breeding system. Prince Karim no longer pursues the family racing legacy, with Prince Sadruddin similarly disinterested.

Officials estimated that about 95 million Americans, more than half the population, lived in areas supposedly struck by mock enemy bombs during Operation Alert 1957.
