...chain hopes to keep that growth continuing. This year alone Hyatt is building ten more motels and expanding its standout success, Atlanta's handsome and unusual Regency Hyatt House. Little more than a year old, Regency House has already become a major Atlanta attraction. Its interior balconies rise 22 stories around a glass-roofed central atrium, served by glass-enclosed high-speed elevators. Now, a 200-room, 25-story circular glass addition is under construction. Hyatt has also scheduled new hotels for Monterey, San Francisco and Chicago, and last month announced plans to expand into the Caribbean and Mexico...
...unspoken fear was that black militants in dingy, high-rise public housing off the Dan Ryan Expressway might fire on delegates traveling to and from the hall. Two police helicopters patrolled the route. President Johnson, if he attends at all, will avoid this danger, zipping in and out by helicopter. As an added precaution, a dummy portico, modeled after the entrance to the White House, was erected in front of the amphitheatre's main door to block the aim of any rifleman. Even the airspace up to an altitude of 2,500 ft. above the convention site was banned...
...Germany, Italy, Denmark and The Netherlands. To date, the 20th century's most fateful year was 1914, when the West plunged into what Winston Churchill called "another Thirty Years' War."

The herd must then go to market, whether volatile beef prices are on the rise (which means win) or too low to cover costs (which means lose...
...human-way to survive the "endless round that shrinks a man to something less than the size and the meaning of flying ants." Relentlessly staging a Job-like trial-by-humiliation, Armah daubs "the man" with spit, phlegm and sweat. Rot and stink-the look and smell of corruption-rise up from every page. It is a classmate, Koomson, who perfumes all the putrefaction with the sweet smell of his success as a self-serving official of the new regime...
