...time the oil came, the Old Lion was failing. He never understood the dimensions of his new wealth, still less what to do with it. By tradition, everything in the country belongs to the King, and he treated this wealth as a personal possession. His sons, given bottomless allowances for travel abroad, poured out of Arabia and into the gay spots of the Middle East. Soon the Middle East seethed with stories of their excesses. Nearly every Cairo nightclub had its Saudi prince surrounded by procurers and willing belly dancers. There were stories of a $15 tip given a waiter...
...permanent night underground is not for sissies, as many a bruised alpinist knows after haughtily trying subterranean slumming. The most rugged U.S. cave, West Virginia's hellish Schoolhouse−featuring such obstacles as "bottomless" (down to 70 ft.) fissures and sheer-rock faces that long defied human spiders, 180-ft. dropoffs past receding walls in thin air−can be negotiated by the most skilled mountaineers in eight to ten hours, round trip.

As for the future of black-white relations in the U.S.: "One's only got to look back to see that, though we certainly have cause for shame, we have, equally, cause for pride...
...Paul's Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co., they like to describe their business as "pulling rabbits out of a bottomless hat." To 3M the bottomless hat is its research department, and last week the company pulled out a promising new rabbit. The rabbit: "Scotchply." a tough, laminated plastic sheet, sinewed with tiny glass threads, that 3M thinks is better than steel because of its strength-weight ratio...
