...that in 1985 vehicles on U.S. freeways racked up 722 million hours in delays, a number that is expected to rise to 3.9 billion hours by the year 2005 if no improvements are made. (Today's average motorist will spend an estimated six months of his lifetime waiting for red lights to change, according to a study by Priority Management Pittsburgh, a time-management consulting firm.) All that stop-and-go travel wasted nearly 3 billion gal. of gasoline in 1984, or about 4% of annual U.S. consumption, according to the latest Transportation Department estimate. Last year planes waiting...
...movie. And a great title: Night of the Living Feelies. Here's this really bewitching post-new wave band, living and working out of Haledon, N.J. (pop. 6,888). The notion is that, in the movie, all the residents of a small town not unlike Haledon are red-eyed, ash-faced zombies who lumber into a Feelies concert looking for a midnight snack.

One brightly painted red- white-and-green aircraft plummeted to the tarmac, and another crashed in a nearby woods well away from the audience of some 300,000. The third burning jet cartwheeled straight into the middle of an area of concession stands and picnickers alongside the runway, spewing fire and airplane parts over tents, cars, barbecue grills -- and people...
Television footage of the Ramstein calamity showed the gaily painted jets performing the "arrow through the heart," one of the flashiest and supposedly easiest of their drills. Nine of the jets split into two formations and flew loops forming a heart, while trailing red, white and green smoke. The tenth, piloted by Ivo Nutarelli, 38, arched down in a solo loop intended to take him through the bottom of the heart as the two formations passed each other beneath...
...different enough from the other dishes for contrast, but not enough of the dried tangerine peel comes through to lift it to the top of the class. It's a good serving and a good dish, but the best of these use a simpler sauce, with more red pepper to open special nasal passages that are then messaged by the citrus aroma...
