...will be a slow, carefully monitored journey. First, 6 million cu. ft. of nitrogen will be blown through the pipeline to purge air from the system, reducing the threat of oil-vapor explosions. Next, a cylindrical plug, called a "pig," will be shoved into the line. Finally, after a signal from Valdez, workmen will open valves at Prudhoe, allowing long-capped crude to fill the line behind the pig. The moving oil will push the pig through the 48-in.-diameter steel pipe at 1 m.p.h. As it goes, the cylinder will shove out of the pipe any refuse that...
There were British, American, French, Swedish and Israeli warplanes, a Soviet SST and even a new Polish crop duster, a jet that can fly only 100 m.p.h.

Shakespeare seems to extol a gentle harmony in nature, which he feels that gods, kings, lovers and men of common clay would do well to emulate. A shrewd judge of audiences, he sows discord to whet the appetite for concord...
...three of these healed people are still alive and will attend the open-air ceremony at St. Peter's when John Neumann is canonized by Pope Paul. John Cardinal Krol, Neumann's successor six times removed in the Philadelphia see, will join the Pope in celebrating Mass for some 20,000 people. Back home, Apostolic Delegate Jean Jadot will conduct Mass at the Aston, Pa., mother house of a nuns' order founded by Neumann, while ethnic delegations will parade to the Philadelphia shrine...
