...Crushed marble roofs provided Beulah with ready ammunition, and car windows throughout the town looked as if they had been sprayed by machine-gun fire. Freeway signs spun through the air like giant razor blades. As the storm passed on, the stench of oil from the ruptured tanks of sunken boats saturated...
...door hardtop with swept-back body, the Javelin boasts the kind of features that the sports-minded car buyer seems to prefer-streamlined hood, bucket seats, split grille and sunken door handles. Also available are such options as a zippy 280-h.p. engine and racing stripes. Roomier than the Mustang, but with a price in the same range (about $2,500), the car itself not only stands to catch on, but, says Company President William Luneburg, its sporty look should also "give the showrooms a traffic boost" for other lines...
...proposed new "Market Square," to occupy one side of Pennsylvania Avenue between Seventh and Ninth streets. The imposing facade will rise the maximum 160 ft. permitted above Pennsylvania Avenue, beyond a 50-ft.-wide sidewalk (the other three sides of the building will be set off by a sunken garden, giving a moatlike effect).

At least three ships headed for the Jordanian port of Aqaba were boarded but allowed...

With its labyrinth of underground shopping arcades, sunken plaza, theaters, television studios, 25 restaurants, 70 retail stores and 50,000 daytime inhabitants of 16 slab-sided office buildings, it remains the quintessence of skyscraper civilization. Last week a combine including two Rockefeller brothers -President David of New York City's Chase Manhattan Bank and Governor Winthrop of Arkansas-brought forth plans to build a similar, if smaller, office-hotel-and-cultural complex a continent away, close...
