...Concrete Island. The most promising solution to New Orleans' problems is a proposed $350 million supersonic jetport to be built above the shallow waters of Lake Pontchartrain on concrete pilings. One drawback is that its flight patterns would overlap those of the present lakefront jetport. Existing flight patterns also crowd New York planners. Engineer James J. Currey Sr. suggests rearranging them to make room for a new pile-supported jetport in the shallows behind Sandy Hook. Space Planner Lawrence Lerner would create new landing space by (in effect) moving a greatly enlarged J.F.K. Airport onto a nine-mile-long...
...first team after being the only sophomores named to it last year. Maybe next spring Ince will regain the crown. Or perhaps Johnsen will win it. On the other hand, maybe coach Bruce Munro will. Ince and Johnsen played together at Garden City High School on Long Island and were the two super scorers earlier this season before Webster rallied...

He can pass to, among others, Phil Zuckerman and Bruce Regan, who ranked sixth and eighth in Ivy scoring. But even...
...remind you of the Russian occupation of the southern half of Sakhalin Island (north of Japan) and the Kuril Islands (northeast of Japan)? These territories, formerly owned and populated by Japan, are now exclusively occupied by the Soviet Union. Japanese fishing boats that stray too close to these islands are often seized or fired upon. To the best of my knowledge, both areas are sealed off from normal tourist or business travelers...
...first-desk musicians. The orchestra, at an emotion-laden private party, gave him a silver-and-gold mezuzah, sculpted by Artist Resia Schor; the directors of the Philharmonic presented him with a 19-ft.-long speedboat, so that Lenny can practice his skills as a water-skier on Long Island Sound near his Connecticut country home...
