...might run into this thing in Rusty Nail, Ark.," said Jazz Pianist George Shearing, 47. "But in Chicago, I don't feel it should exist." Blind since birth, Shearing had walked into the Little Embers Restaurant, accompanied as always by his guide dog Leland, a golden retriever. Sorry, no pooch, the maitre d' told him. Shearing explained the obvious. No dog-against the city's health code, repeated the maitre d'. So Shearing decided to make a case of it. "I don't want any exception for me," he said, "I want exceptions for every...
...reef 18 miles off the southwest tip of Britain; part of its 118,000 tons of crude oil began leaking into the sea. Like great oozy creatures from 20,000 leagues under, oil slicks more than 20 miles long were soon slinking toward southwest Britain's golden holiday beaches, which draw $300 million a year from tourists...
...playwright with the genius of an O'Neill and the sexual insatiability of a Sukarno. He is strictly a four-letter man, and he has manhood problems and a domineering mistress-an older woman who with her husband nurtured the young playwright's talents in his more golden days.

With the help of ground controllers, pilots navigate from point to point along these invisible airways by means of electronic navigational aids that provide course, distance and location information. These "navaids" range from small location-marker beacons on the ground that light a bulb on the aircraft...
Like the highways below them, the nation's airways are becoming increasingly congested. At any moment during daylight hours, the FAA estimates, there are between 8,000 and 9,000 planes aloft in the U.S. airspace, as many as 4,000 of them in the "Golden Triangle," formed by lines connecting Chicago, New York and Washington. With 1,000 new planes a month being added to the nation's aircraft population, the traffic jams are becoming increasingly heavy?both in the sky and at airports. Of the 9,500 U.S. airports, only 114 can handle jets. And although...
