...province of the novel, not the cinema, and even so mature a film falters before its destination. But never has an English-language film glistened with so many social nuances. In part, the credit is due to Director John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy); he has also contributed a cluster of stylistic debits. The essential triumph of Sunday Bloody Sunday belongs to Scenarist Penelope Gilliatt, whose plot alone challenges the customary moral institutions...
...this cluster of contradictions came the 'final' solution: all stations paid AT & T a license fee for use of "telegraphic" wires. AT & T sold its stations, receiving the right to manufacture radio equipment on a limited basis, while RCA, General Electric and Westinghouse formed the NBC radio system, which operated two networks and dominated its field for years. By these actions, antitrust laws were circumvented; networks being new entities altogether, the danger of eventual broadcast monopoly was ignored...
...consistent surplus until last April. Even now, the U.S. holds a $1.8 billion annual surplus in trade with the Common Market.

The astronauts stepped out of the rover and began to select rocks, describing each to the fascinated geologists back in the science support room in Houston. One rock looked like "green cheese"-until Scott raised his gold-tinted visor and saw that...
...since 1966, were reported a year ago by Drs. Arthur Herbst and Robert Scully of Boston's Vincent Memorial Hospital, the women's division of Massachusetts General. Another Boston doctor discovered an eighth case. The doctors then could not even hazard a guess to explain this sudden cluster of rarities. Moreover, all but one of the cancers were of a cell type different from that found in older women. So Herbst teamed with fellow Gynecologist Howard Ulfelder and Disease Detective David Poskanzer to do some backtracking...
