...engineers that skyscrapers would be safe. With the ceiling abolished, the city's skyline slowly began to rise. The major impetus was supplied by the completion of a network of freeways during the '60s.

Most of the new skyscrapers have sprung up along the sector of the freeway loop that is closest to the downtown core.

Cross, a widower with four children, is a prominent professing Catholic. But he does not see rhythm as the only permissible method for many women. "If a woman has heavy or irregular periods, or painful periods, or sometimes has none, or if she has premenstrual tension or endometriosis, bleeding between periods, excessive hairiness or pimples [caused by an excess of androgenic hormones], or is excessively fat or is approaching the change of life, her doctor is morally justified in prescribing any treatment he likes.
