...would be five miles below the surface of the eartha technically difficult and prohibitively costly bit of construction. In addition., the subterranean temperature at a five-mile depth might be as high as 265° F., and a passenger vehicle would need an immense cooling system. Finally, because a perfect vacuum could not be created within the tunnel, and because the vehicle would probably have to ride on some sort of rail, friction would slow it down-leaving it with insufficient kinetic energy to complete its trip without a source of additional power. In a long-distance Washington-Moscow tunnel...
...home town, as well as numerous publishing friends in New York. He was always given a top table when he dropped in at Toots Shor's or "21" on his frequent visits to New York, graciously gave his autograph when asked, and readily discussed writing with perfect strangers -if they were not newsmen. In 1957 and 1958, he was the writer-in-residence at the University of Virginia, and in 1962 lectured on writing at West Point.

Rock 'n' roll stations can choose a philosophy and maintain it just as consistently as can any other medium, an almost self-evident observation to anyone who has seriously compared, for example, WBZ and WMEX. "A station can't operate without objectives," Perry B. Bascom, WBZ's general manager, has said. Other rock 'n' roll stations have been known to choose a name for a disc jockey to keep...
...some $400,000, out of the building. His impossibly high standards in the kitchen led to endless resignations, all to the ultimate benefit of gastronomes, for those who left today preside over many of Manhattan's best restaurants. He had become what all restaurateurs aspire to be-the perfect professional...
