...with imported air and made habitable. If such caves are lacking, a good place to found a city would be the "Straight Wall," a vertical cliff 500 ft. high to the lunar north of Tycho crater. Tunnels could be cut into its face more easily than they could be sunk from the surface. They should run about 50 or 60 ft. below the ground. At this depth their atmosphere, exerting an upward pressure of 1,440 Ibs. per sq. ft., would balance the weight of the rock overhead. Props would not be necessary...
...Grove nightclub fire. He spent three years recovering in Army hospitals, underwent 45 operations, still wears a glove over a badly scarred hand. Engel typically found a silver lining: "You know, I must have been damn lucky. I had orders to ship out on the U.S.S. Dorchester, which got sunk with the loss of most of the men on board.

...gradually replacing present directors with his own men. After that, he will try to turn into reality his own grandiose schemes for American railroading: a flashy advertising and promotion campaign to boost railroad travel; large-scale financing to buy new equipment (including as much as $250 million to be sunk into his low-slung "Train X"); reducing debt by having the railroad buy up its own bonds, and pressuring the ICC to raise freight rates.

Heidi herself is freshly, simply played by Elsbeth Sigmund, and her crusty grandfather...
...under his heroine. Father Russell is murdered. The jolly businessmen who laughed around his bridge table vanish into thin air-save for one who stays around long enough to pop the remains of Daddy's capital into his own pocket. By the end of the novel, Sylvia has sunk to a stratum from which death is the only escape, where crackers and condensed milk are deemed a nourishing meal and Good Hair is valued only because it is attractive to "dark" male customers...
