Today, Mr. U.S. finishes his breakfast of frozen orange juice and diet-bread toast, pops a vitamin pill into his mouth, steps into his fastback Barracuda, punches the tape deck button for swing or symphony, and heads for the freeway. The six-lane concrete strip lets him proceed at 65 m.p.h. toward his office in town-except when there are so many other cars going the same way that he can listen to all of Beethoven's Ninth. By the time he gets to the office, his wife has already called-from the pink, push-button Princess extension...

Residents of the City had opposed any Belt route through Cambridge, but this route--which would pass near Central Square and displace some 1500 families--had always aroused the most anger...
...Mass., where he and three older brothers formed a singing team called, at first, the Urick Brothers. They entertained World War II troops in Boston, and by 1955 had become America's top vocal combo. Such hits as Rag Mop, Sentimental Me and The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane sold 25 million records (despite the titles), and the brothers were well on their way to their first million dollars.
