MORE than a decade ago, a bridge over a ravine carried heavy traffic outbound from Kansas City to Leawood and points west. Then the bridge collapsed under the weight of a truck. Though insurance money was available, the bridge was never rebuilt. The street now stops at one edge of the ravine, then starts again on the other: it takes a two-mile detour to get across...
...smaller number of big companies have either moved to New York or announced their intention to do so, including Elgin Industries, U.M.C. Inc., Atlantic Richfield and Norton Simon Inc.

Some nine hours later, while Columbia was out of contact on the far side of the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin stepped down from the ungainly looking Eagle?and into history. It was a moment that would surely survive long after the criticism that has accompanied every step of the space program is forgotten?understandable as that criticism may be in view of the pressing problems back on earth. It was, too, a moment that symbolized man's wondrous capacity for questing...
