...crews in protective clothing taking samples from drums of hazardous refuse for white-coated chemists to analyze in nearby laboratories. Other neatly uniformed workers transported the waste to two of the company's 15 toxic-chemical disposal sites, where it was buried in a landfill under tons of clay or injected into a deep underground well. Such attention to niceties helped Waste Management become the U.S. leader in the disposal of hazardous garbage and made its stock a Wall Street favorite. Two weeks ago the shares were selling for almost $60, up from only...
...conventional urban wisdom of planners and architects. A former Fortune editor, he belongs to a small band of journalists who have alerted laymen to the folly of the two extreme approaches to the hearts of our cities: neglect and cataclysmic "renewal." Among Whyte's allies are Grady Clay, formerly of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal, now editor of Landscape Architecture magazine, and Jane Jacobs, who is teaching at Toronto.

Even Bruno, the family golden retriever, makes an appearance or two and the scenes of Maine feature the requisite lobster cages and boathouses of New England.

An illustration of the flux: Connors has won the U.S. title on three different surfaces - grass, clay and cement. Borg and the Open championship would have distinguished each other, but the oversight seems small. He belongs with Tilden, Budge and Laver...
Although Borg grew up on clay, Centre Court at Wimbledon will al ways seem his turf, and the unfading memory will be of Borg losing the 34-point tiebreaker to McEnroe in 1980, then winning the four-hour match in the fifth set. Anyway, it may have been just as well that he did not win at Flushing Meadow. On Wimbledon's lawn, Borg customarily dropped to his knees at the instant of victory. On cement, neither Stenmark nor Borg could have taken much of that...
