It could be used for spy-in-the-sky surveillance, nuclear-test detection, target reconnaissance and weather reporting.

It could map ocean currents, help locate underground water, experiment with modifying the weather, and take improved pictures of the stars and planets. At San Francisco, for example, International Business Machines engineers suggested that an orbiting laboratory 200 miles above the earth could complete in two days a global...

From their vantage on the Met's grand tier, the over-two-story-high murals will glow through the glassed vaults to dominate a city vista more spacious than the Piazza San Marco in Venice...
While the disastrous and seemingly endless war has disrupted South Viet Nam's fragile economy, it has increased the business of at least one company: the government-controlled commercial airline, Air Viet Nam. More and more Vietnamese travel or send their goods by air in order to avoid Viet Cong terror on roads and railroads...
