Tiles & Horseshoe. The ruins, says Savoy, cover some 6 to 10 sq. mi. and stretch across three succeeding plateaus. The first plateau-roughly four times the size of Machu Picchu-begins at about 4,500 ft.; the second is at 5,500 ft., and the last, poking eerily up through a misty halo of clouds, may reach as high...
...listens. Of France's 8,000,000 autos, 4,000,000 were on the road last week-filled with potato salad, crying children, accordion maps and cursing drivers. Seven million campers pitched their tents on 8,400 acres of camping space, and there were scarcely 4 sq. yds. per bivouacked family in Southern France. Thousands of toes were stubbed on thousands of tent pegs. Along the French Riviera the cars were bumper to bumper, and the bikinis bosom to bosom. Vacationers everywhere stood in line for meals, phone calls, beach umbrellas and bathrooms. Restaurants in Nice served as many...

Most of the world's major glass producers have obtained licenses to make glass according to Pilkington's patented process. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., the first licensee, is already floating out glass...
There was both defiance and despair in that cry, for Central Harlem is no place like home. It occupies only a 3.5-sq.-mi. wedge of upper Manhattan, but 232,000 people are packed into it, 94% of them black. Its worst streets are so crowded that if the same density prevailed throughout New York City the entire population of the U.S. could be jammed into just three of its five boroughs. It seethes with life and frequently boils over in violence. Its drug addiction rate is ten times higher than New York City's, twelve times higher than...
