The company is working on a family of disposable medical instruments that may offer some advantages in convenience, cost and sanitation over products now available.

...long voyage home as well. At the $250 million Kansas City International, which was dedicated last month, Architects Kivett and Myers designed three almost circular terminals, with as many as 19 gates each, and laid out a fourth circle for future expansion.

And, as such faddists as Andrew Sarris in film and Susan Sontag in literature hang themselves by the ropes of their own silliness, the realization seems to have been reached that art--even in its simplest form--is difficult, meant to challenge the preconceptions of its appreciators and awaken higher consciousness, and is socially functional only on a moral level (not necessarily political, and too complex in direct experience for the weathervane readings of, say, McLuhan...
