...highlight of the rites was the unveiling at last of the radical keel that the Australians had kept carefully shrouded from view since their arrival in Newport last spring. Lexcen's design did not, as many pundits had said, sport a bulbous nose or a double trim tab. Its magic lay in the two one-ton deltoid wings drooping from the bottom of what, in effect, is a normal keel turned upside down; its trim tab is very narrow, however, with a strip of plastic fairing to make it even more effective.

Coca-Cola's latest annual report contains a two-page picture of a family simultaneously enjoying the company's products. They are drinking Coca-Cola, Tab and Sprite, pouring Minute Maid orange juice and sipping wine, while watching the Columbia Pictures movie Tootsie. If that scene is re-created next year, something will be missing: the wine. Last week Coca-Cola (1982 sales: $6.2 billion) announced plans to sell its wine business to distiller Joseph E.

The flight costs came to $74,392 using military aircraft, almost three times the tab to fly business class in commercial planes, according to the report. These bills are paid out of funds-$26.3 million this year-that Congress appropriates to the Air Force to maintain a fleet of 17 planes for official Government travel. On these military transports, spouses can travel free when space...
...program for architecture students, under the supervision of professors and practicing architects. This year some 50 students have been working at the eleven sites on a combined budget of $250,000. Surveys are generally requested by state or municipal agencies or private groups, who also help to pay the tab. Stringent budget cuts have reduced HABS' s once orderly if complicated selection process to pot luck...
