...salute. The Teheran Symphony Orchestra played a new coronation hymn ("You are the shadow of God"), and unofficial Poet Laureate Lutfali Suratgar read a three-minute ode ("The crown and throne of the King of Kings shone over the world as the sun and the moon shine in the firmament"). Mountaineers planted golden crowns atop the country's 48 highest peaks. Throughout Iran there were 97,000 coronation parties and 630 carnivals. A million dollars worth of fireworks rocketed through the night...
...that no one but George could dare to attribute cosmic force to it. He carried it off though. He always had a cigarette in his mouth when he said it and tilted his head back waiting for the smoke to curl up over his face and the light to shine on the moistening high forehead. George was very conscious of the shameless theatricality of the pose. He practiced it, just as he practiced a Hemmingwayesque clumsiness in his speech, the careful inclusion of certain words, as though he had learned English as a foreign language...
Physical & Economic. Though capable of transcontinental runs, the L-1011 is designed to shine on such medium-range (up to 2,000 miles), high-density hops as the rich New York-Miami run.

To be sure, bronze and marble for centuries have gained in luster and patina from exposure to the weather, but a whole new range of materials, notably stain less steel and plastics, practically demand the reflective brilliance of sun shine. "Aluminum shines wonderfully against the greens of summer and the greys of winter," observes New York Collector Robert Scull...
Nowhere did Germany's famed-if now faded-postwar Wirtschaftswunder (economic miracle) shine more brightly than at Krupp. Under expansive, gregarious Berthold Beitz, whom Krupp brought in as his general manager in 1953, Krupp returned to the very top rank of German industrial companies. Sales have tripled since 1944 to last year's $1.35 billion, and the 3,000 items Krupp produces include almost everything but armaments, which Alfried banned...
