...Walk. For the past three years, the Maryland-National Capital Park Planning Commission has guided development around Washington along six "corridors" radiating 40 to 50 miles out from the capital. Each corridor contains about five cities, some old, some new. Parkways and strips of greenery will keep the cities from blending into each other, thus preserving each city's pride and identity. The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission is doing the same in the seven-county region that includes Milwaukee and Racine...
...water droplets large enough to drip down the threads. To test the brooms outside the laboratory, the New Jersey researchers have set up 20 in a field outside Trenton and equipped them with photoelectric devices that start their motors when a fog settles in. If they effectively clear a corridor through the fog, the devices will probably first be placed in operation along a stretch of highway five miles west of the Lincoln Tunnel that is frequently shrouded...
...writing movies. But Hollywood money, she discovered, wasn't real: "It's congealed snow; it melts in your hand." In the '40s, the snow melted even faster as she constantly supported left-wing causes. In 1953, she collaborated on an unsuccessful play, The Ladies of the Corridor, about lonely women living in a hotel.

Last year the big boys hauled 4,000,000 passengers over the 347-mile run between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the world's most heavily traveled air corridor. The idea that the corridor needed more branches struck Economist William E. Myers, 32, as he wrestled with Orange County statistics at his small market-research firm in Newport Beach. After all, with a population up from 216,000 in 1950 to 1,200,000, Orange is the fastest-growing...
...increased Wheeler's authority on Capitol Hill: as Kipling noted, the man in uniform may be everyone's goat in peacetime, "But it's 'Savior of 'is country' when the guns begin to shoot." Wheeler has never indulged in the public griping or corridor grumping of previous JCS chairmen. On the contrary, as the nation's top advocate for the military viewpoint, he has sufficient courage, diplomacy and professional skill both to cooperate effectively with McNamara and argue opposing convictions dispassionately but persuasively within the Administration and before Congress...
