...library will continue to take a count of studiers, at several times during each day until November 11, Miss Porritt said. At that time, they will compare figures with Lamont's staff, who are conducting a parallel study to determine the feasibility of admitting women. Together, they will attempt to come to a common solution of the library problem...
...overregulated (railroads), partly underregulated (waterways), and partly free from all rate and route controls (contract truckers), transportation today is a Balkan thicket. Each uncoordinated segment has been encouraged to grab as much of the total market for itself as possible. The predictable result: too much capacity in some places (parallel rail lines), too little elsewhere (a shipping shortage for Viet Nam). On top of that, lawmakers, bureaucrats and private executives alike have virtually ignored the obvious matter of synchronizing transportation by auto, bus, rail or plane. Not a single railroad, for example, connects directly with a major airport. The first...
...devising special-purpose cars to win back shippers. Multilevel auto-rack cars, for instance, have enabled railroads to regain $100 million of motorcar hauling lost to trucks, while saving automakers $200 million. A few rail lines are even making a bid for passengers. Though two of his routes run parallel to new expressways, Chairman Ben Heineman gambled $50 million on modernizing the Chicago and North Western's commuter service-and won. Patronage is now climbing by 5% a year, and commuter profits this year should reach $2,000,000. Some long-haul travelers still prefer stylish comfort to speed...
Only in the rare instances when something works do we get an idea of what Cabaret was meant to be. Joel Gray, as the master of ceremonies, does a brilliant love song with a female gorilla, titled "If You Could See Her Through My Eyes." The obvious parallel to Miss Lenya's relationship with Mr. Gilford gives the song a relevance all the other cabaret numbers lack. A song of popular unrest, "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," is later twisted into a grotesque Nazi rallying cry, and the meaning is again clear...
Autumn Leaves. Hanoi certainly showed precious little evidence of change. Though the U.S. ordered a pause in bombing raids in a section of the demilitarized zone near the 17th parallel, Hanoi did not reciprocate. The U.S. has also offered to initiate an over all bombing pause in return for assurance from the North of a comparable deescalation, but Hanoi's response has been to insist on a total and permanent halt of all U.S. bombing before it will even talk about holding talks...
