...acreage at an acceptable price," he says, "we would be forced to go 20 miles beyond the city. Instead, we in effect have created 75 acres of new usable park area out of nothing, giving us the best-located research facility in the world today. Scientists need-and insist on-close contact with academic institutions and other cultural resources." Of wider significance, city planners all over the nation were taking a second look at their own gulches. For Abramovitz, Panther Hollow demonstrates how an eyesore can be made into an asset...
With U.S. businessmen buying and selling in increasingly remote parts of the world, Berlitz now teaches 46 living languages from Afrikaans to Urdu. President Strumpen-Darrie (who gets by in half a dozen languages) and 48-year-old Vice President Charles Berlitz (15 languages fluently, another 15 passably) insist that non-European tongues are usually no tougher than European ones, and that almost anyone can gain a rough working knowledge after 30 hours of instruction and a good fluency (a 3,000-word vocabulary) after 120 hours.

But the ice is melting fast, and now everything I hear is about Goldwater." In Missouri, which John Kennedy carried by an eyelash, several veteran observers insist that Goldwater today could not only get the state's Republican convention delegation, but could also beat Kennedy there. In Texas, State G.O.P. Chairman Peter O'Donnell has set up a National Draft-Goldwater Committee, is shoveling out carloads of stickers and buttons, organizing state Goldwater campaign forces...
Young Knowles moves his arm cautiously, and wiggles his fingers slowly. But arm and fingers are sensitive to touch, heat and cold. Though the M.G.H. surgeons admit that these are "hopeful signs," they insist that they still cannot predict how fully Ev will recover the use of the arm. He faces many more months of treatment...
