...Bell System is one great computer, linked by 24 billion interconnections and by enough copper wire to spin a four-ply cable to the sun. The computer's innards are an orderly assemblage of $24 billion worth of the most sophisticated equipment ever devised, and its long limbs sprawl over 3,000,000 square miles of city, plain, mountain, valley and river. It is in constant change, works around the clock, seldom errs-and often corrects itself when it does...
...college freshman last year. Beamed Lyndon, "That means more to me than anything." She is not even slightly domestic, shrugs off kitchen skills, saying, "I can always learn to do those things." She is fascinated by politics, often dons a bathrobe, pads across the hall to sprawl on the President's bed and talk over the morning headlines.

No wedding date has been set, but the President's daughter proudly wears Bernie...

Both are Dutch painters, founders of Cobra, whose styles spring from the explosive spontaneity of that postwar persuasion. Corneille is a little tamer, perhaps because he chooses nature as his forte. His shapes sprawl in the lazy rhythms of an octopus treading water in a bright-colored sea of protoplasmic forms. Through April...

As lingering depression shuttered the mills and shipyards of Scotland and the industrial north, hundreds of thousands of workers and their families drifted into southeast England. New industries sprang up, and a blotchy urban sprawl transformed the home counties surrounding London into Poet John Betjeman's "dear old, bloody old England of telephone poles and tin." Greater London is being choked by its population explosion; its birth rate is six times that of the rest of the country. Traffic is so congested in the city that when a magazine staged a race between...
...third offering of the current Shakespeare-Marlowe Festival, Marlowe's "King Edward II," Director George Hamlin has chosen to present not a poetry reading, but a play. His readers really act--they stride martially on and off the stage, gesture and turn to each other, sprawl about the reading stands, and altogether give us something like a full production. The result is a throughly exciting performance of a great neglected drama...
