* Modern equivalents of illegal tie-ups would include code-sharing agreements between airlines that result in monopolies or near-monopolies of certain routes. Generally, such tie-ups are seen as reducing competition and allowing the partnerships to control pricing.
* According to the ancient Chinese discipline of feng shui, green is the color of money or growth.
* LORAN stands for Long Range Navigation and was a land-based navigation system using low-frequency radio transmitters in multiple deployment to determine the location and speed. LORAN was once used by the United States Navy and Coast Guard.
* The name refers to an unfortunate incident aboard Magellan’s ship that left several of his sailors dead and Magellan gravely wounded. At first friendly, a group of islanders who had boarded the ship uninvited attacked the Spaniards when they tried to prevent them from taking the ship’s lifeboats, among other things.
* Suicide Cliff is so named for thousands of Japanese civilians who voluntarily, or coerced by Japanese soldiers, leapt to their deaths upon being told that the invading U.S. soldiers would rape them; Banzai Cliff was the starting point of the Japanese army’s disastrous final charge.
* In typical fashion, Hillblom incorporated a holding company to acquire his shares in UMDA. The name, which resulted in the appearance that Continental was suing the islanders rather than Hillblom, was clearly not an accident.
* The Republic of Nauru—once known as Pleasant Island—which lies in the southern reaches of Micronesia, due east of Papua New Guinea, equidistant between the Marshalls to the north and the Solomons to the south, is the world’s smallest island nation. Its landmass covers just 21 square kilometers (8.1 square miles)—less than one-fifth the size of Saipan. Nauru is also the world’s smallest republican state and the least populous member of the United Nations. In the late 1970s, thanks to the discovery of large phosphate deposits, its suddenly wealthy king binged on all kinds of ill-considered investments, including the eponymous eight-story office building in Saipan capped by the revolving restaurant. By the mid-1990s, the king was broke and his island’s once beautiful landscape had been ruined by overmining. Desperate for cash, the king contracted with the government of Australia to run an off-site detention center for its most dangerous prisoners and dumped his overseas investments, including the building on Saipan.
