...science museums. When he became director of his museum six years ago, he staged the kind of exhibit that would have' fascinated him as a boy. Called "What's Inside," it featured a cross section of a city street. Children entered through a sewer pipe, hunched past a maze of utility lines, climbed out through a manhole and examined the topside, with its parking meters, trolley tracks and working Volkswagen. Planned as a six-month exhibit, "What's Inside" was so popular that it ran for five years...
...government alone some $1.2 billion. Pushing slowly out to meet them are complex pipelaying barges that cost as much as $8,000,000 to build and $38,000 a day to operate. The area is "exploding with action," says William C. Keefe, president of Houston's Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co. He should know. To harvest deep deposits lying 125 ft. below the sea surface and another three miles under the sea bottom, a Panhandle subsidiary last month finished a 150-mile underwater section of 30-inch pipe that will eventually reach shore and extend a full length...

Last week he felt "like a man in the middle of the Atlantic in winter in a 3-ft. canoe." Experience warned him that the simple scheduled plans were too good to believe. Humphrey was to arrive in Hartford after midnight, catch some sleep, and next morning chat with suburban housewives in nearby Bloomfield. Then he was to fly in his Boeing 727 to Stratford...
...nagging fear that the 1969 models, which would enter the showrooms by October and bear higher price tags but few major styling changes, might meet with buyer resistance. That fear has all but evaporated. As Ford Executive Vice President Lee lacocca put it, Calendar 1968 is a "lead-pipe cinch" to wind up as the best sales year in history, surpassing the 1965 record of 9,314,000 cars...
