...Aberdeen, a typical prairie town in South Dakota, had seen nothing like it since the introduction of the ring-necked pheasant turned the town into a hunter's paradise. Telegrams poured in, including greetings from the President of the U.S. and Senator Karl Mundt. Newsmen, radio and TV crews were everywhere. St. Luke's Hospital swarmed with guards trying to control the unusual traffic. The quintuplets born to Mary Ann Fischer, 30, wife of a billing clerk in a wholesale grocery, were thriving, and the town was afire with pride...

Computers help to design comfortable brassieres for the garment industry, and have so highly automated many warehouses down to the billing and shipping that Rose Marie Reid swimsuits has cut by 75% the time it takes to ship...
...look at his open Scots face and listen to his Lowlands burr, it is hard to believe that Jimmy Clark, 27, leads a double life. For part of the year, he is a hard-working Berwickshire farmer who tends to his sheep and Aberdeen Angus. But for the rest, on Europe's Grand Prix circuit, Clark races fast cars. "The new Stirling Moss," his opponents call him, and the recently retired master concurs. Says Moss: "Jimmy is the last man I'd want to see in my rearview mirror...
