...Milhous Nixon. Now, at 56, atop the citadel of power, he was ready to stand before the thousands in the Capitol Plaza and millions watching TV across the U.S. to take his oath of office as the nation's 37th President. In his inaugural address, he set out to sound clearly the tone of his Administration...
...large measure, from a buoyant economy. Without the economic advances of the past eight years, it would not have the means to even begin the job that must be done domestically.

Every year, some 20,000 new residents settle around Seattle. Mainly well-educated professionals, they are drawn to the area by good jobs, good schools, and the prospects of the good life - sailing on Puget Sound, skiing in the high Cascades, hiking in the Olympic ranges.

It will be O.K.," said the contraption's creator, Susumi Shingu, who expresses his love of the wind and the water in such lighthearted abstract mobiles...
...give her just one more chance.' I think the first one was better. The Who play hard rock music, and have a great act, and are very weird people. The group has a drummer, a bass guitar, lead guitar, and a singer, but they produce a complex, brutal, hard sound. People go to their concerts to try to see how they make all those noises with so few instruments. Its hard to describe, but the breaks in their sound awfully formless and abstract, but deep down they consist of just a hard drum beat, a loud bass, and Townshend...
