...doubt the developers intend to mine Mineral King with the same antiseptic efficiency and imaginative salesmanship that they exercised on Disneyland itself. They promise to ban automobiles from the village and advocate a five-level underground garage. From there, visitors would ride a cogwheel train the last mile and a half. The ski valley would have more than two dozen lifts and tramways leading up slopes. Summertime guests would find fewer trees, but there would be good swimming and hiking...
...more than three months, H.M.S. Highburton plowed endlessly back and forth over a measured mile in choppy waters between the southern coast of England and the Isle of Wight. It was a monotonous mission for the crew of the coastal mine sweeper, but it may well prove momentous for the commercial fleets and navies of the world. During those test runs, the British Admiralty said last week, a versatile chemical helped the little ship to cut its normal fuel consumption by 15% and to reach speeds higher than it had ever before attained...
...coal miners who assembled last week in Charleston, W. Va., it was an occasion for passing collection plates, singing protest songs and heaping scorn on mine operators. The miners, some of whom wore black arm bands inscribed with skull and crossbones, were demonstrating for protection against "black lung," a disease caused by inhaling coal dust that can lead to illness or death.

...beams on which so many people had stretched out. Before I left Cambridge, I had been told, "If you speak with someone at Antioch for five minutes, it is assumed you will sleep with him." This had caused a moment of uneasiness about going to visit a cousin of mine there, but he was a good guide. I asked him about the intimacy I felt at the Feast, and he told me that it was in this house in "the glen" that most of the T-groups were held. Memories must have been rampant, since almost everyone at Antioch...
...GROUPISM is physical too. It's appropriate that Harvard has no student center. Everyone has a physical niche. Mine is at 14 Plympton St.; if things or I had been different, it could have been at the pinball machine in Tommy's, in the stacks of Widener, in the IAB pool, in the house dining hall long after the trays have been cleared, or making movies in Carpenter Center, or watching them at the Brattle. Every January and every May we all creep out of our niches and pile book upon book onto our outstretched mind and carry the whole...
