...perch Mao and his top comrades in a seven-member Politburo Standing Committee; beneath them are a twelve-member Politburo, then 94 Central Committeemen. From there the party descends into tens of thousands of local branches whose vigilance reaches into every city block and every village hut. This pervasive network controls all facets of existence, pulls young and old into the web of ideological influence and ensures that no "foreign" political concept can take root...
...even three can live more cheaply than one, in 1963 paired his successful coal-hauling C. & O. with the deficit-ridden Baltimore & Ohio, thus producing a $65 million combined annual profit within two years, and this year (pending ICC approval) adding the Norfolk & Western line to build a network that in track (26,460 miles from Maine to Nebraska) and annual revenues ($1.82 billion) would rank as the nation's second biggest, next to the newly joined Pennsylvania New York Central; of a heart attack; in Cleveland...
...these, at least four are inside Cambodia. Half of the remaining eight are within easy marching distance of the Cambodian sanctuary and the supply lines of the Sihanouk Trail.

Her tempos, to put it charitably, are free form; she has an uncanny knack for landing squarely between the beat, producing a new ricochet effect that, if nothing else, defies imitation. Beyond all that, her billowy soprano embraces...
Borel, who was once IBM manager in Viet Nam, has his eye on the slowly growing network of superhighways in France, which by 1970 will run 700 miles from the north through Paris to Nice. Only 2% of French auto travelers stop at restaurants for meals, as against 60% of Americans, says Borel. The rest prefer to "pique-nique" on the roadside. Borel wants to change all this with a string of Howard Johnson-style restaurants...
