...Fuller patented the geodesic dome, which used pyramid-shaped tetrahedrons to attain great strength without internal supports and to cover more space with less material than any other building ever designed. The first commercial sale was to the Ford Motor Co. Other geodesic domes housed DEW-line stations in the Arctic, a concert auditorium in Honolulu and the U.S. Pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal...
...battles, of course, are merely the latest skirmishes in the ancient war between Coke and Pepsi. Coca-Cola, which makes Sprite, Fresca, Mello Yello and other brands in addition to Coke and TAB, leads all soft-drink producers, with some 36% of the total market. Pepsi brands, including Mountain Dew, have about 25%. But although regular Coke is still the bestselling soft drink, it has lost some ground to Pepsi since the early 1970s (see chart...
Gardner, who moves this summer from Utah to take over as president of the University of California, will soon get a close-up first reading on whether his commission can make a difference. California, in its customary DEW line position on U.S. trends, led the way in the past decade's educational pandering to student enthusiasms and taxpayers' tight pockets.

When Watson arrived, 3,000 Irishmen were waiting. "I just miss the beauty of an empty golf course," says Watson, who can rhapsodize about the fragrance of Augusta when the sun goes down...
Cottle, who spent four years in analysis, usually begins each interview with an exploration of his guest's childhood. He inquires of an aloof Dick Cavett what it was like to lose his mother at an early age. His eyes dew up as Jerry Lewis describes the ache he feels for a departed grandmother. From the past, Cottle shifts (after the obligatory commercial) to the present. He wants Elizabeth Ashley to recount the horror of a back-alley abortion. He leans forward and demands of Daniel Travanti whether he has "the courage to fall in love" with his sultry...
