The city of Tel Aviv, Israel, radiates from the Saint Pierre Church, nestled in the city"s Ha Pisga Gardens. Formed in 1950 by the merging of the ancient port of Jaffa with the then-suburb of Tel Aviv, Israel"s largest urban center is home to more than three million people, most of the country"s industrial plants, and its only stock exchange.

The Panama Canal 巴拿马运河-7

A ship canal, about 82 km (51 mi) long, crossing the Isthmus of Panama in the Canal Zone and connecting the Caribbean Sea with the Pacific Ocean. It was begun by the French in 1881. The United States gained construction rights after Panama declared its independence in 1903, and the canal was opened to traffic on August 15, 1914.

The lottery to raise new funds for the canal was a disaster. In December 1888, the canal company went bankrupt, triggering the biggest financial crash in human history.

My dear Ferdinand never had the slightest interest in profit for himself or his family. Yet he was destroyed both in reputation and in health by the Panama affair.

De Lesseps died a ruined man, charged with bribing the press and parliament to conceal the scale of the crisis in Panama. The scandal that followed brought down the government. Over 20,000 men had perished and millions of dollars had been squandered to create a muddy ditch in the tropics. In France, for years afterwards the word Panama was synonymous with corruption and disgrace.

Seventeen years elapsed before another man stepped forward to take on the Herculean task of building the canal. President Theodore Roosevelt handpicked the railroad engineer John Stevens for the job.

I"ve built over a thousand miles of railroad in my day. I"ve been most away around the world doing so. I"ve encountered most of the conditions that any engineer would ever have to. So I expect that"s what qualifies me for this job.

First Stevens inspected the abandoned French workings.

Herculean: requiring or having great strength or effort

handpick: select personally
