...ecumenical community, the four apartment buildings now standing range from federally assisted low-income housing (at $421 for a four-bedroom apartment), to middle-and higher middle-income accommodations (from a $297 studio to an $887 three-bedroom duplex) to co-ops that are comparably priced with East Side Manhattan apartments...
Cabin Two began its stately ascent noiselessly and almost imperceptibly. The 18,300-lb. C-2 reached a top speed of 16.3 m.p.h. and a peak altitude of 250 ft.-providing a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline. We touched down on R.I. after a flight of 3,134 ft. and 3½ min. Each of the Swiss-built cars carries up to 125 straphangers, at 50? a head. In case of a power failure, a huge diesel auxiliary drive system on the island can be put into action within five minutes, says the island's chief engineer, David...

...close at 992.6, down 3.62 for the week. But by several other measures the market is not particularly high at all-nor has it risen fast enough this year to make many investors feel rich. For example, a recent compilation by Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co., a Manhattan brokerage firm, shows that 80% of the stocks on the New York and American exchanges are selling for $25 a share or less, an only slightly smaller proportion than in January, when the Dow began its powerful assault on the 1000 mark. And price/earnings ratios. one of the most critical...
