...Gauss, Huygens, Kirchhoff. There, indeed, is a monument to the West that any sane man would like to see at the bottom of Lake Baikal. If they do a really thorough job long enough, they will be walking to work and working at night by the light of blazing pine knots, even in the Celestial City...
Such trees as fragrant pine and plants such as pungent sage produce the "blue haze" that occurs during summer, even over relatively uninhabited areas of land. They emit molecular substances known as terpenes and esters, which react with sunlight to form a smog similar to the one produced by man-made pollutants. Terpenes, says Went, like some industrial and automobile pollutants, are "incredibly toxic." In some parts of the West, where they are generated by sage, they actually inhibit the growth of other vegetation...
Thrusting Towers. Los Angeles is an amalgam of disparate communities so bewildering that even natives do not know-or care-where one begins and the other leaves off. The city proper is complex enough, an agglomeration of 60-odd communities as different as elm-and-pine-shaded Encino in the San Fernando Valley and Venice, a tawdry oceanside spot ten miles to the south.

Most U.S. cities have a single downtown core, but Los Angeles...

"I neither deny nor confirm the report that we are married," said Curtis, adding darkly: "Nobody will be able to come up with a photostat of a marriage...
...Merrill Lynch has a hand in 12% of the round-lot (100 shares or more) and 20% of the odd-lot (less than 100 shares) transactions. Its capital totals $148.2 million, almost three times that of its nearest competitor, Bache & Co. The vaults in Merrill Lynch's headquarters on Pine Street (two blocks from Wall) contain $13 billion in negotiable securities. In all its transactions last year, the big brokerage house grossed $228 million for a net profit of $30.8 million. More than ever, it fits the name that Wall Streeters in awe and envy bestowed long ago: "The Thundering...
