...running light is a 21-candlepower light, attached to the grille, that turns on with the ignition. The resulting gleam warns of a car's approach not only at dawn and dusk, when headlights may be off, but also in broad daylight, when the car is in a shadow or blending with the background. Running lights were first used by Greyhound buses, which experimented in 1960 by leaving their headlights on in daylight. In 1962 the practice was made compulsory on all the company's buses, and since then, according to Greyhound figures, accidents have dropped...
...against the law to stand stark naked on the street in broad daylight in the heart of Manhattan's financial district? Detective Joseph Leahy thought so the Sunday he saw green-eyed Actress Jan Tice (5 ft. 10 in., 37-25-37) posing nude in front of the Morgan Guaranty Trust Building while Writer John Wilcock held her coat and Photographer Jean Kirkland took pictures-for a book on New York monuments, they explained.

So they drew up plans for something attractive and imaginative: a red brick snailshell. Customers enter where a snail would, find tellers ranged behind a curved counter inside the shell. Daylight comes through a plastic dome in the roof.

So far he has finished the $3,500,000 Kline Geology Laboratory, a medieval keep whose slit windows admit daylight willy-nilly-and which one Yale Corporation member dryly describes as "solid as rock and functional as an electric log." Its fortresslike appearance will be repeated in a 13-story tower for the Kline biology quarters...
...reassuring to note the other day the solidarity and unity of American labor. When over 25 New York workmen can witness a daylight robbery and fail to summon a policeman, even before they realize they can cut themselves in on the loot, it is indeed a heartening sign...
