...following concepts are very simple to understand: 1) Sex is interesting. 2) People like it. 3) Raquel Welch is sexy. 4) Therefore people like her. Simple, right? Not to the author of your article on Raquel/Myra. He thinks that the mystery of Raquel is a profundity explainable only in terms of complex Jungean theories of archetypal behavior...

In the next few years, increasing attention will be paid to shoddy development and the infamous urban sprawl; it will be widely recognized that like most forms of pollution, defiling of the landscape, whether it be with shopping centers or expressways, is hard to reverse. In the interests of preserving their open spaces-not to mention domestic tranquility-some nations may bar or limit tourism. International relations will certainly be affected by the cause...
