...atmosphere is different in the two towns. In Bridgeport, a gritty industrial town 50 miles from New York City, the crowd is a mix of short-sleeved factory workers and highrollers from New York. Sedate Hartford, a city that retires so early that players can find only two restaurants open when they leave the fronton, seems to have found a long-needed outlet in jai alai. An ovation greets the players each time they march out; the fronton's two "pits"-two standing-room areas closest to the court-are filled with jai alai groupies squealing for their favorites...
...they think they can profitably fill. (American flights are subject to review by the Civil Aeronautics Board and the State Department.) U.S. carriers-Pan American, TWA and National-now account for some 60% of total airline capacity between the U.S. and Britain. The British want to change this mix to equal shares-not by increasing the number of their flights but by getting Washington to force U.S. airlines to cut back. The British thus want to replace the Bermuda agreement with something closer to the sharing practice prevalent in Europe, where state-subsidized airlines divvy up flight schedules among European...
...supplement players developed at home, the team traded for experienced players in key positions. The elements were there, but it remained for Whitey Herzog to mix them.

...torture themselves with a mix of deep metaphysics and petty jealousies. They look balding and brooding, like cafe intellectuals. (They even wear leather jackets over their space suits.) Sartorius wants to cut up Hari in the interest of science. "Immortality," he cries. "Faust's dream!" Snauf copes by letting himself slip into sarcastic lunacy; when Hari jerks back to life in Kelvin's arms, he mutters "I can't stand all these resurrections." And the once zero-degree Kelvin gives himself over to his soulful-eyed dream woman like the agnostic who embraces religion, because only thus can he bear...
...much emphasis on consumption and not enough on accumulation. They would prefer federal policies that would enable companies to keep more of their earnings either through higher depreciation allowances for the purchase of new equipment or a further lowering of the corporate tax rate. Ideally, there should be a mix of both approaches so that the consumer, as well as the investment sectors of the economy, would remain healthy...
