Most swingers remained on the 8,000-sq.-ft. dance floor, gyrating to three alternating bands whose blast and big beat were amplified through a loudspeaker system suddenly gone berserk. For those driven out by the din, the club has other diversions: a reading room and TV room (one color set), a movie theater (avantgarde shorts). Street-vendor carts push Nathan's Famous hot dogs (50?), and the bar serves liberal portions of Pepsi-Cola, but nothing stronger than beer and wine is served...
Elsewhere, other elements of Operation Abilene fared better. As the operation concluded at week's end, units of the Big Red One, the Royal Australian Regiment and New Zealand Artillery Battalion counted a total of 59 enemy killed, 22 captured, and a 900-sq.-mi. area cleared of Viet Cong-at least for the time being. That left two major sweeps still in progress: Operation Nevada, a search-and-destroy mission by several U.S. Marine battalions in the Cape Batagan Peninsula, which has so far killed 42 Viet Cong, and Operation Fillmore, a sweep through Phu Yen province...
...that will cost more than the entire original $17 million investment. Also in the works are plans for 1) Mineral King, in California's High Sierra, which, upon opening in 1976, will become one of the world's largest ski centers, and 2) Disney World, a 43-sq.-mi. vacation empire in central Florida that will be almost 170 times as big as Disneyland...

In their discussions, the leaders agreed to work toward an abolition of trade barriers between them but recognized that before federation could become a reality, each of their separate economies would have to be considerably strengthened. Simple as that may sound, it was the most sensible decision reached by African nations in many a wrangling month...
Corridor of Towers. New York City, still by far the leader, continues to amaze the pessimists by consuming vast amounts of office space and crying for more. Since World War II, 182 new structures with 66 million sq. ft. of office space have gone up in Manhattan, giving the island not only the highest quality space in the nation but also over a third of the U.S. total. Even with another 35 skyscrapers under way or planned, which will have as much space as the entire office supply of Boston, New York is experiencing a shortage. In the resulting scramble...
