...consolation-to the President's wife, anyway-was the bill that emerged from the bickering. Like the. version already passed by the Senate, it authorizes a federal-state campaign to landscape major roads, screen or remove junkyards from roadsides, and push back billboards so that people can see the scenery. It may even eliminate the ultimate uglification described earlier by Washington's Senator Warren Magnuson. On Route 99, just south of Seattle, said he, the view of distant Mount Rainier is obscured by a Rainier-beer billboard with a painted view of Mount Rainier...

Years later, when he lost the championship, Onofrio Lauri rushed out of a Chicago poolroom, cue in hand, and almost threw himself into Lake Michigan before...
...clothing industry has fought hard to encourage this trend. In an epochal move, manufacturers jointly undertook a campaign to stress that clothes are too important to be bought only when a replacement is needed. They have to be careful, though, not to push new styling too far too fast; men are more conservative than women, and their styles change slowly. Through subtle changes made over long periods, the industry has shortened coats and sleeves, narrowed lapels and tapered trousers. Two of this year's heralded innovations are the shaped suit and the return of the double-breasted-but they...
