...around-the twelve-acre project. There will be a 1,500-car parking garage for suburbanites and, for city dwellers, a direct underground link to the existing subway system. Once at Lafayette Place, shoppers will be able to move from store to store at three levels: in a subterranean concourse, on ground level and, by way of flying bridges, on the second floor. Instead of simply recreating the usual suburban shopping center-a fortress for retailing with all attention focused inward-there will be continuity with the surrounding area. Some of the new stores will front on established city streets...
After receiving his Ph. D. in psychology from Harvard, Skinner spent five years doing postdoctoral research in a "subterranean laboratory" at the same time Frankling Roosevelt and his braintrust were advocating the New Deal. In 1936, Skinner married Yvonne Blue, an English major at the University of Chicago, who now says. "Fred told me he was a genius when we were first seeing each other. But I told him that he couldn't be a genius if he wanted to marry...

Even "Tangled Up In Blue," the second-best song on the album, can only offer something that sounds like it comes off a poster...
...computer that can save the world is in Lapland, stashed in a hidden, subterranean laboratory. Just so there should be no mistake, the thing bears this sign, discreet but emphatic: THE MOST COMPLEX COMPUTER IN THE WORLD. DO NOT TOUCH. The trouble is with those who are allowed to touch it, three slightly awry scientists and their collaborator, a splendidly long and sexy programmer, openhanded but calculating about distributing her favors. The world is coming to an end, and this quartet is the only hope. At least, that is what they...
...traditional view is that the first really large-scale attempts at underground mining, in which extensive shafts and subterranean galleries were used, were not made until the time of the Romans, who mined everything from Spanish silver to British iron and Near Eastern copper. Rothenberg's discovery just about destroys that theory. From the stone hammers, bronze chisels and a cooking pot found in the labyrinthian tunnels of the Negev mine, he concludes that the mine dates back to 1400 B.C. -near the end of the Bronze Age and more than a millennium before Rome's large-scale...
