...score of new national stations. Shortly after he became director in July 1965, Chancellor decided to find a new format, and with the help of Richard Krolik, an executive of TIME-LIFE Broadcasting, devised the "new sound."

In 1899 and 1932, at the time of the November encounter...
...Europe nearly everyone gets a bonus to compensate him for the added costs of a wife, a child, a dependent parent, or unpleasant working conditions. Italians are paid $8.40 a month extra for each child, also collect supplements if they work at an open-hearth furnace, at a high altitude, or in an old malarial zone, though malaria has seldom struck since Mussolirii drained the swamps. The Belgians get extras to cover the cost of commuting by train, and the hardy Dutch, who cycle to work, are given "bike money...
