Headquarters City. New York is also the major port of entry into the U.S., and Idlewild-the busiest airport in the world -has become a kind of sub-city in itself. As large as all Manhattan from 42nd Street to the Battery, Idlewild has developed a range of consumer services that include banking, dentistry, photographic studios, and a $275,000 animal motel where bears can bed down for $2.50 a day, tigers for $5, bulls for $7 and wolves...
...gave the saxophone to jazz has been blowing a wicked wind for 40 years-and the melodic breeze shows no signs of slackening. Having survived several shifts in jazz taste-swing to bebop to cool-Hawkins remains the busiest tenorman around.

Nine & Forty. The civilian council may find itself forced to act before long as more and more of the Trujillos' grisly secrets are put before the public. Attorney General Garcia Vasquez reports that two of the busiest murder factories were located in the capital's environs-"La Carenta" (The Forty), so-called because it was on 40th Street in Santo Domingo, and "Kilometer Nine," beside a highway nine kilometers east of the capital.

A moderate with few enemies in the Sacred College, Confalonieri is of the right...
This week, as skiers head snowward for the Washington's Birthday weekend, traditionally the busiest of the year, resort operators are celebrating the biggest year skiing has known since man first set out on barrel staves. Deep valleys and isolated mountainsides that only a few years ago had been as quiet as Coney Island on Ground Hog Day are now echoing with cries of "Track!" ''Attention!'' "Pista!" and "Achtung!" (In many U.S. spots, "track" has been supplanted by golfdom's "fore.'') Spanking new lodges in a variety of architectural forms range from...
