...world is largely modern industrialization. America is the chief modern industrialized society, in all the things that means in the last third of the 20th century, from automation to urbanization to mass affluence." "No other country in the world," adds Italian Designer Emilio Pucci, "applies scientific discovery as fast as America does. America thus is leading a new way of life. It has caused a thirst for novelty in all fields, and this thirst is contagious...
...convenient to dissolve the marriages of powerful lords and kings. Church historians concede that such annulments were often granted on tenuous grounds, and that the current strict attitude to divorce did not begin to take shape until the 12th century. Lepp concludes that the church, even while holding fast to its belief in the sanctity of marriage, ought to be less rigoristic about divorced Catholics who wed a second time...
Flight without wings-which are useless "in space and would be burned and torn away by the temperatures and stresses of re-entry-is made possible by the M2-F2's odd aerodynamic shape, which provides substantial lift in a fast-flowing airstream. Two sturdy rudders enable the craft to turn, and small flaps can be used to pitch its nose up or down. With such controls, a lifting body returning to the atmosphere from orbit at 18,000 m.p.h. might start on a trajectory designed to terminate near Kansas City, and still have the capability of flying...

WDSU had the only New Orleans reporters at the crash scene and shot the city's only film of the removal of the bodies...
...Fast Resuffle. The passion for pilgrimage has made the airlines the fastest-growing industry in the U.S., expanding by an average 14% a year since 1950, as against 8.4% for the runner-up, electric utilities. The pell-mell pace is still accelerating: this year U.S. airlines plan to take delivery of 287 new jet and turbo-prop planes worth almost $1.5 billion, nearly twice as much as they spent on equipment in 1965. With that outlay, the industry will add as much seat-mile capacity as it had altogether in 1950. The airlines are already the nation...
