...south is the narrow corridor that gives Alabama access to the sea. The major seaport city of Mobile (pop. 202,000) likes to think of itself as a miniature New Orleans. A cosmopolitan place, Mobile exudes a certain Southern charm, with towering live oaks along the streets, and botanical gardens featuring beautiful azaleas and camellias. Though the harbor is Mobile's chief resource, industry too has come to town: Alcoa is there, along with a couple of paper mills and a fast-growing chemical industry. Like Huntsville, Mobile quietly desegregated its lunch counters without bicker or bother...
...windows. Attached to the back is a glassed-in gymnasium with Oriental rugs, where Rusk and Khrushchev played a brisk game of badminton. Medicine balls of assorted sizes lie around along with other muscle-building equipment, such as parallel bars, weight pulleys, climbing bars and a gymnastic horse. A corridor leads to Nikita's pride and joy: a 25-yd. swimming pool that can be heated to any temperature, or opened to the sea breeze by a pushbutton that controls enormous steel-and-glass walls.

It recedes and then begins to emerge again as a pattern of simple rectangles. Anuszkiewicz' colored geometry becomes a kind of crazy-quilt corridor into which the eye is drawn and held dizzily as in some enchanted funhouse...
...this is the most!" squealed Toni Ann LeVier, 18, whipping a Lockheed TF-104G Super Starfighter through the supersonic corridor near Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., at twice the speed of sound. Toni, a Pasadena high school senior and very likely the world's fastest teenager, held a pace of 1,325-1,350 m.p.h., with Dad as her copilot-and Dad is Supersonic Flight Pioneer A. W. ("Tony") LeVier, 50, now Lockheed-California's director of flying operations. With another father-daughter stunt in the offing, a cross-country flight to Andrews Air Force Base, Md., Toni...
