Time after time, the flyers circle the field on instruments and slant into cautious approaches to the landing runway. An auto-pilot steers them along the ILS (Instrument Landing System) beam. But while they are making their automatic approach, Rube and his copilot keep up a constant chatter on the radio. They sing out when they first spot the ground, report familiar landmarks, announce the first gleam of runway lights. And every word is recorded on the ground...
Kokoschka finds such versatility all too uncommon these days. Everyone tends to become uniform-either abstract or academic. "In the U.S.," he grumbles, "people can't get jobs unless they paint abstractions. It is that constant repetition! You have to drink Budweiser beer, you have to drink Budweiser beer. After two days I had to drink Budweiser beer-and I don't even like beer." Says Kokoschka, waving an abstract catalogue: "This man makes patches for the pants. I say man is a magical thing, full of magical powers. This cold-way art leads to evil-it makes...
Dulles was in a somewhat awkward position. He expected the meeting to produce nothing new on the old problems-Korea, German unification, the European Defense Community, NATO, Indo-China.

...secrets of the princess' heart simply forgot the Holmesian precept that the most easily overlooked clue is often the most obvious one. As a royal equerry and deputy master of King George VI's household (appointed in 1944 when Margaret was only 14), he had the constant duty of accompanying the royal family in all its lighter moments. Group Captain Townsend rode with the princesses, escorted Margaret to parties, flew her planes in air races, played canasta with the Queen, and by royal command enlivened many a gathering at Sandringham or Balmoral with his quick wit and boyish...
...mechanics of nature than ever before. The oak tree holds its own against the gale only because its roots are strong enough to resist the pull of the wind, and the fibers of its branches restrain the buffeting with their tautness . . . All living things exist in a state of constant tension; only the inanimate and the dead rest in place by weight alone, rock piled on rock and slab leaning against slab. All truly modern building is alive...
