...barbershops of the land has been about the American Football League and the National Football League and which had the better teams. At first, since there was no interleague play, the argument was a standoff. Then, in 1967, the champions of the two leagues played the first of four Super Bowl Games. The results-two N.F.L. victories followed by two stunning upsets by the A.F.L.-only added fuel to the feud. This season, with the ten teams of the A.F.L. merged into the N.F.L., the match-ups have given new dimensions to the old discussions...

One of the more exciting technological exhibits at Expo 70 is a scale model of just such a train; and the Japanese National Railways hopes to put its new "Super-Super Express" in service for the 310-mile ride between Tokyo and Osaka by 1980. Controlled entirely by computers, it will easily eclipse Japan's Tokaido super express, which, at 130 m.p.h., is now the world's fastest scheduled train...
...design of the magnetic train has been worked out in considerable detail; the greatest hurdle to actual production is money. One rough estimate is that the Super-Super Express will cost the Japanese at least $3.5 billion. The U.S. Government, for its part, has not made any commitment to such an expensive scheme. But the California researchers are hopeful that they will eventually get funds from Washington. They have already decorated their office walls with a poster that reads, MAGLEV...
