...Birmingham, Cleveland and Provo, Utah, leaving behind a surfeit of $35,000 to $50,000 homes. Transferred to Pittsburgh, they now overflow the 41-story headquarters into four other downtown buildings. They have been brought together as part of the corporation's effort to slice through its layer cake of supervisors, consolidate its sprawling divisions and end the costly overlapping of its sales offices. The company has united many of its independent accounting and engineering offices in central headquarters, reduced the number of its regional sales offices from 53 to 28, and ordered all salesmen to sell its full...
...suspected him of being a "climber"). Her enormous output (42 novels) yielded her easily $75,000 a year. Yet the feeling of nonbelonging, she confesses, never really left her. Looking back, she saw herself as the last survivor of a civilization "as remote as Atlantis or the lowest layer of Schliemann's Troy...
...post even tried a bit of Viet Cong-type cunning. Getting word that the Reds planned to cut the post's barbed-wire fence by night and stage a raid, the corpsmen lay in ambush outside the post. They allowed the Viet Cong to snip through the first layer of wire, then pelted them with hand grenades. The defenders lost one man; but the Viet Cong's 37 attackers were wiped...

The first, Aurignacian, is roughly 25,000 to 30,000 years old, the other, Magdalenian, dates from 15,000 to 20,000 years ago.

Many art historians believe that cave art had magical meaning, purposely put in as cramped a space as possible in a sort of protective return to the womb. Though...
...Bible was reproduced by what Bob Chollar, the company's head of research, calls photochromic micro images, or PCMI. The film has none of the silver halide grains that are the vital element in conventional photographic film; instead there is a very thin layer of a dye that darkens rapidly when exposed to ultraviolet light. The resulting picture has no "grain." Images of Bible pages projected in ultraviolet were reduced by lenses and focused one by one on the dye. After each exposure the film was moved mechanically to array the tiny pages in close-packed rows. This miracle...
