...solid and massive, says Acoustical Engineer Leo Beranek, seems to be based "not on function but on poetry. Spaces are not isolated, but continue without barrier through glass, grilles and gardens. But continuous structures and the open plan are inimical to quiet living." From one room to another flow the sounds of whirring mixers, juicers and garbage grinders, babbling radios and television sets, humming refrigerators and air conditioners. The air conditioner's metallic threnody, in fact, is one of the important new sounds of America. It hangs in the air above close-nestled, rich communities like the thrum...
Sattahip's harbor is being deepened to make it a major ammunition and petroleum port from which a pipeline will pump fuel to Korat airbase in northeast Thailand.

Hardest to take of all, many Brazilians of late can no longer even afford their traditional daily flow of cafèzinhos, or tiny cups of black coffee, which are up from 10 cruzeiros...
...most totally engrossed in nuptial arrangements, letting routine social functions pretty much run themselves. Mrs. Carpenter coped with staggering demands for invitations and information from all over the world. She also worked out an embargo system and a schedule of minutia-laden releases in order to control the flow of information. Last week's wedding-cake handout was replete with detail, down to the birthplace of Pastry Chef Ferdinand Louvat (Grenoble) and the treatment of each seedless white raisin (soaked until plump) allowed into the cake...
