Though psychology and economics both make for steady growth in land values over the long run, bubbles of pure speculation always burst sooner or later. Investors are already getting a lesson that land prices can go down as well as up. High construction costs and urban blight have undercut property values in some city areas. The land under the Boston Edison Building was worth about $200 per square foot in the 1920s; today it is less than half that, though property values in other parts of town have risen. A speculative orgy of overbuilding in New York City has driven...
...easy shots from noman's land. He played for time, pussy-footing between points -- meanwhile, King pushed her pace, hunching up her shoulders to lengthen her stride, and grinned into the camera. By the third set, Riggs was playing like a man being stoned, and his last game was pure throwaway. He slapped and missed two easy forehands, double-faulted at deuce, and on match point stuffed a sure putaway into the net. It was as if he had played out one long apology, in regret for a boast gone bad. King's smile was wide and happy...
...University of Chicago Scientists Robert Clayton, Lawrence Grossman and Toshiko K. Mayeda for what they discovered while studying fragments of the Allende meteorite, found near Pueblito de Allende in Mexico in 1969. Tiny grains of dust imbedded in the chips contained an isotope of oxygen (oxygen 16) in virtually pure form. Ordinary oxygen in the earth's atmosphere−and presumably that on the sun and other members of the solar system−also consists mostly of O16. But it also contains small amounts of other isotopes−oxygen 17 and 18, which were apparently formed later...
...pure Morris: the best (the sidelong wit and the marvelously supple prose, now gold, now grit) along with the worst (the wooden dialogue, the coy hints at profound meanings that never quite come out from behind the prose screens). More than any of his 17 previous novels, the story takes off from the workaday world in search of the ineffable. The familiar trappings of Wright's baroque realism turn up: the taste of switch grass and cord grass, the loom of grain elevators, the feel of a kitten dropped by wanton boys into a country-school privy...
...recognizably based on the life and death of assassinated AID official Dan Mitrione, who was trained in the U.S. to operate in close undercover conjunction with the repressive police in Brazil and Uruguay. Montand is perfect because this dream of a family man, whose actions are propelled by a pure form of bourgeois liberalism, is so unconscious an oppressor. Charles West...
