...simple enough: prohibit all private cars from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. and from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. from the 35-block, 25-acre heart of the city's shopping center (see map). Shoppers would thus have an "isola pedonale"-a pedestrian island-all to themselves during peak hours save for buses and taxis. All seemed bellissimo when the plan went into effect: children calmly played soccer at the foot of the Spanish steps, where autos once hurtled blithely by; grown-ups ambled wonderingly down the center of the fashionable Via Condotti, window-shopping at their casual ease...
...that the best Columbia team ever had to appear the same year that Harvard reached its peak. The Crimson is 6-1, with a 17-10 win over vaunted C.C.N.Y., and should walts past its other Ivy foes. Saturday's match, the first of the Ivy season, will decide the league crown...
Evidence supporting that bullish outlook was everywhere. Ford Motor Co. last week added $200 million to its already peak 1966 expansion schedule. United Air Lines placed a $56 million order for a huge computer system, adding strength to the airline industry's plans to boost its expansion outlays by 22% next year. Food-industry expenditures are expected to climb 15%, those of rubber manufacturers 29%, those of the aerospace industry...

Most railroads are experimenting with fare cuts to boost traffic, especially at off-peak hours. C. & O.-B. & O. cuts its fares 31% on "red circle days" (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), when travel is light; the Pennsy has cut-rate mid-week Philadelphia-New York Ladies' Day Specials. Only a few trains offer such attractions, however, and the railroads' revenues and profits...
...Union Pacific's trains from Chicago to the West Coast still maintain a tradition of comfort and good service that continues to attract passengers. The Burlington, whose California and Denver Zephyrs used to carry peak loads only in summer, will spend $350,000 this winter jointly with Hertz Corp. to promote Colorado skiing. It has already been so successful that ski-season reservations on its trains must often be made months in advance...
