...great buildings, will survive; the rest will be bulldozed down memory lane. Said Moses: "Even if their foundations were solid enough to make them last-which they aren't-what would we do with them? We want the land for people, for a new sort of super Central Park, with marinas and every outdoor recreation facility. Greater New York's population center has shifted out here, with new apartments rising all the time, and people must have breathing space. This is the last world's fair for Flushing Meadow, and it is going to be a great...
...boys from Ithaca are big. Their starting six consists of center Steve Cram (6-7), Bob McCready (6-5), Marv Van Leeuwen(6-5), Bob Berube (6-3), Garry Munson (6-5), and Ray Ratkowaki (6-0), Cornell has no super-star; its high scorer is McCready with a mere 13.2 average, but all of their players can provide some scoring punch...
Sporting the chief executives of all firms employing more than 50 people, the Citizens Council now has over 250 members. Together, these "civic super dads" employ 92 per cent of the city's work force. The most recent--and perhaps, most typical--undertaking of the Council has been the desegregation of Dallas.

To the strict diggers, the edu cated estimates of the surface men are all too fallible. The balanced truth is that each method has advantages, de pending on the nature of the country and the sites...
...superbly executed potpourri inspired by Bali's antic muse. There were subtle pencil drawings of nudes, erotic washes produced by the inky wiggling of a live baby octopus, fiery battle scenes with paint laid on thick enough to thrill a pastry chef. Of course, there was also his super-surrealism, typically in GALACIDALACIDEOXYRIB ONUCLEICACID (Homage to Crick and Watson), a title so long that it resorts to a parenthetical remark. In a slick equation of Botticelli and biochemistry, Dali portrays a translucent God lifting the dead Christ into heaven, superimposed on the molecular structure of life-bearing...
