...hall whose high masonry walls are inset with false windows. This entrance hall in turn opens onto a vast ovoid, some 90m across, that formed the sanctuary itself. The ovoid is enclosed by a thick, curving wall of limestone blocks covered with inscriptions, some of which are more than 12m long. The afsm team believes the remains of the wall, along with additional inscriptions, extend more than 9m beneath the sand, and it is exploring the site using ground-penetrating radar and other high-tech tools...
...gonna rant about Lehrer and these debates. (For those of you who missed my commentaries in the other debates, I've found myself yelling at the TV.) The commission should have included Nader and Buchanan in at least one debate. Why? Buchanan's getting $12M in taxpayer monies. We shoulda gotten a chance to see what we bought. Nader's near 5 percent is big enough to merit a place on the stage. Alright, I'm done now. As for Lehrer, his cross-examination ain't doing much to illuminate the differences...
...Japanese Zero flew in low against the U.S. aircraft carrier Bunker Hill and crashed onto the flight deck, igniting the 30 planes waiting to fly sorties. Thirty seconds later, another Japanese suicide flight dropped out of the sky and struck the Bunker Hill amidships, ripping open a 12m. hole with the blast of its 250-kg bomb and turning the fast carrier into an inferno for the next six hours. Of the 3,000 crewmen on board, 353 died in the smoke and flames. The kamikaze attacks were part of the Japanese navy's Ten Go (Operation Heaven), which sent...
...cars. The rise was led by its new Kadett model, which is 6 in. shorter than the standard VW but roomier inside, and sells in Germany for $1,269 v. $1,245 for the VW. Ford's best seller is its new Taunus 12M, which is 7 in. longer than the Volkswagen and costlier ($1,370). Its success has lifted Ford's German sales by 23%, to 157,000 cars in 1963's first three quarters...
...Opel Kadett was rated highest among all small cars by Germany's controversial consumer magazine DM, which placed the VW second and called it "old-fashioned," estimating that it offered less comfort, visibility and speed than the Kadett. (The Ford Taunus 12M was rated lower because the testers faulted its road-holding.) Confident Volkswagen says that it could have sold more cars if it had only had enough manpower and plants-a shortage that the company is remedying by building one new plant and expanding two others. With a limited supply of cars, Volkswagen is concentrating mostly on sales...
