...they have ordered more of the planes and should get more of the production. Right now the tanks of four nations are facing each other across battle lines: the British Chieftain, the West German Leopard, the French AMX30 and the U.S. M60. The French, whose armaments salesmen are trying hardest, have sold many of their light AMX13 tanks, but are having trouble with the newer AMX30; it has failed to win a clear military endorsement over the Leopard, which Germany has just begun to produce to replace its Standardpanzer. Belgium recently balked at signing an order for the AMX30...
...tiring trudge from exhibit to exhibit. Visitors who have their minds set on seeing the main attractions spend a good part of a day standing in queues. Transportation is expensive: it costs $3 just to board a Greyhound escorter-if you can find one. The hardest thing of all to track down is a cool soft drink, and even that entails waiting in line...
Understandably, the loudest complaints come from the handful of concessionaires who have been forced to close, mostly with heavy losses. The show business sector has been hardest hit. Mike Todd Jr.'s America Be Seated closed shortly after the fair opened. Another notable dropout was Wonder World, a glossy musical-extravaganza with a cast of 250 that at times was bigger than its audiences. The Texas pavilion's lavish To Broadway with Love and Dick Button's Ice-Travaganza also folded. The Teatro Espanol's guitarists and flamenco dancers would be a hit in Manhattan...
Putting down the line is the hardest and costliest part of pipelining; in rough terrain it can cost $150,000 a mile, always requires many pieces of special machinery to dig the ditches and successfully lay the pipe. But once in place, pipelines are impervious to weather and immune to strikes, operate day and night with rare breakdowns and only occasional pumping station overhauls. They eliminate the costly necessity of deadheading empty cars, barges or tankers, are so automated that only a handful of men can monitor a cross-country system. Pipelines are thus the cheapest transportation available for bulk...
...just about the most successful racing skipper of this century (TIME cover, July 27, 1953), Corny Shields has, inevitably, the most indomitable will to win. "Racing," he admits frankly in this autobiography and sailor's guidebook, "is the aspect of sailing that has gripped me the hardest." Then he adds, perhaps intending to be disarming: "I'm supposed to be a 'competitive' person; at least, I've always enjoyed competitive sports and matching skills with others." The fact is that Corny Shields, now a ripe 70, would die if he didn...
