...tube. We are now experiencing the emergence of punk rock which is nothing more than powerfully amplified chants, moronic mindless chants. One punk group calls itself the "De-Evolutionary Band." Will close inspection of that perfect microcosm, Harvard Yard, reveal a regression of Man? Will students' minds grow shallow and their bodies soft from addiction to the tube? Will not the pillars of Cambridge crumble in the presence of punk, or will they prove stronger than those of Rome? T. Apollo Whitbread...
...Crash of 79? Forget it. Oh, sure, there will be a quarter or two of very slow growth next year, but the odds are against anything that could even be called a recession. And if a recession does strike, it will be shallow and short...
...chic. "Young women end up buying a whole wardrobe of them," says Barbara Ashley, Bloomingdale's millinery buyer, who has stocked her hat bar with models ranging in price from $10 to $250.

Undersea exploration and oil searches go on apace. Oceanographers, environ mental experts and futurists freely predict that man will not only soon put vast tracts of seabed under cultivation but may eventually be commuting back and forth to shallow, Atlantis-like undersea apartment clusters. It is tempting to see the baby sub not just as a prototype toy for the rich in Florida and California but as a seagoing Model T Ford, a future flivver of the deep, or like the Curtiss Jenny biplane, some kind of ur-machine that may usher in a new age of travel. In that...
