...Minas' young capital city of Belo Horizonte. It was laid out just 60 years ago as a Washington-like model city on one of the mountainous state's few relatively level patches of land. Now Belo Horizonte is a booming metropolis of more than 400,000, the hub of Juscelino's net of roads and power lines. Its population has doubled in a decade. Beside its 100-ft.-wide streets, its 129 plazas and parks rise new skyscrapers such as the 24-story Banco da Lavoura, the severely elegant Hotel Normandy and a newly started, 35-story...

But, decided Vag, the propositions they were screaming were even more ribald than those hurled by Cambridge gamins. Besides, the Cambridge brats only stole your wallet at goal post riots.

...Engineer's Nightmare. All this was harder to do than to plan. He had to build a hub that would contain all the gear necessary for these subtle and complicated changes of altitude and still let the blades ride free (to kill gyroscopic effect and preserve a balance of lift), supported horizontally only by centrifugal force.

...September 27, 1952, the Post's eight-column banner headlined KREMLIN NEWSPAPERS IN HUB LIBRARY READING ROOM. "Top-level Communists and their underlings," the story said, "get the latest dope straight from Moscow at the expense of the Boston taxpayers who are footing the bill for importing Pravda and Izvestia for the Boston Public Library." (Actually, the papers were financed from a private endowment.) The article told how Communists could lure children to the papers and fill their ears with translated propaganda. This story was part of the Post's effort to remove Russian-language newspapers from the Boston Public...
