...Harvard University Network--for one week the sole communication outlet for the campus area--has been forced by the competitive forces of capitalist society to give up its monopoly of local and long distant services...
McDonald's has a new venue: the diner. After two years of planning, the fast- food giant has opened a one-of-a-kind outlet, the Golden Arch Cafe in Hartsville, Tenn., a small town northeast of Nashville. The 1950s-style restaurant, complete with jukebox, offers such unlikely McFare as lasagna, pork chops and Salisbury steak. The menu includes ordinary hamburgers, but no Big Macs or Chicken McNuggets.

She loved horses and dreamed of working with animals, but her college science grades were too low to qualify her for veterinary school. Working as an occupational therapist proved an insufficient outlet for Fossey's yearnings. In 1963 she took her first trip to Africa, where she paired off with a strapping young Rhodesian farmer. An on-again-off-again engagement eventually ended, as did a later romance with a nature photographer. Her tempestuous affair with Africa endured...
