Americans will soon participate in those activities. Rising along the banks of a pretty artificial lake are quarters that will be occupied by U.S. astronauts when they come to Star City to train with their Soviet counterparts for the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz linkup. Shatalov thinks that the Americans will like their surroundings. "This is a healthful, quiet and serious place for training," he said. Then, he added, amiably, "just like Houston...
...reach further than even some pornography reformers expected. In Utah, which has one of the nation's toughest anti-obscenity laws, officials felt sufficiently bolstered by the new ruling to announce that any attempt to show Last Tango in Paris, which had been scheduled to open in Salt Lake City, would result in arrests and the confiscation of the film.

There, the Illinois Center Corp. is building $1.5 billion worth of offices, apartments and parking garages and hotels. Important as an extension of the business district, the project also upgrades the city with good architecture (buildings by Mies van der Rohe) and good urban design...
...heaven (in fact, most of Books III, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI), except for the fall of Satan's defeated forces toward hell. Where it suits his purposes, though, he uses Milton's verse verbatim-and with reverence. Collier has Satan and his minions in the burning lake repeat until all hell rings with their shout of defiance Milton's resounding expression of the power of men (and devils) to triumph over adversity: "The Mind is its own place and In itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven...
