...think of all those extra travel bills), badly unbalanced in the quality of play. Stocked with castoffs, minor leaguers and even non-Canadians (four Americans, one Scot, one Pole), the new West Division teams in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Los Angeles and Oakland could hardly be expected to furnish much competition for the established East Division clubs. And when they were slaughtered by scores of say 15-0, who would come out to see them play? Auditoriums would empty, franchises would fold, and the N.H.L. would be the laughingstock of U.S. pro sports...
...minimize the damage of the Belt is still uncertain. Apparently, ways will be sought to bring an influx of Federal money into the neighborhoods affected by the road. In particular, the Model Cities program may help relocate families displaced by the Belt, provide loans to area businessmen, and furnish other compensations. The problems of building and financing "air rights construction"--houses and business built on a platform above the depressed highway--will also be a likely topic. After that, it's anybody's guess...

Mass Art's next project is a kit of inflatable chairs, sofas, and tables that can furnish an entire living room but be packed into a crate 5 ft. on a side...
...muck and reinforced by heavy wooden beams and a mountain of sandbags, his spartan shelter is strictly for keeping the wounded alive until they can be evacuated to hospitals in the rear. Shortridge uses a stretcher balanced between two sawhorses as his emergency operating table; hissing Coleman lanterns furnish the light, and an armored amtrack stands outside to accommodate extra patients. Most of the wounded suffer from arm and leg injuries. "That 20-lb. flak vest is worth five times its weight in gold," says Shortridge. "It must have saved a hundred lives...
