...also will show off to the press a new computerized system for matching the institutions' big buy-and-sell orders. Next month the exchange will relieve crowding by increasing space 20%, opening up an extension to the trading floor.

...demand for decent housing continues to outstrip construction, "No Vacancy" is becoming the ubiquitous sign of the times. Last year, U.S. builders put up just under eight houses and apartments for every 1,000 people, which was half of 1950's record pace.

The driven, half-poetic half-delusive doctor has become a worldwide legend in the past three years. Though his body was seen and identified, he is still rumored to be alive somewhere in the mountains of South America. If anyone doubts Che's death he has only to look at the celluloid...
...techniques as well as new themes. He had always thought of storytelling as painting, Edel argues; now he sharpened it toward drama. He unfolded his stories more and more through dialogue. Most important of all, the shock of the Guy Domville fiasco brought to life emotions James had half suppressed until then, including perverse love. The author discreetly suggests, with supporting letters, that late in life James became infatuated with a young, rather obtuse Norwegian-American sculptor named Hendrik Anderson...
