Social critics tend to scoff at theme-park patrons as passive non-participants in plastic fantasy. Obviously, such critics have never been tugged by tireless children through seven-plus hours (the average time spent per park per family) of short rides and long lines, mini-zoos and maxi-queues, live shows, deadly lines, fast food, slow lines, indigestion, blurred vision and pedialgia (sore feet). In fact, the vast majority of the 80 million people who will visit theme parks this year are involved, tireless and eclectic in their pursuit of pleasure...
...official at the Vatican Secretariate of State back in 1948, he chose shrewd, witty Giovanni Benelli as his right-hand man. Four years after assuming the papal throne in 1963, Paul installed Benelli in his own former job at State, and ever since then Benelli has been the tireless "executive director" of the Vatican...

In the five years since the Super-Senior organization was founded, divisions have been...
Like Kissinger, Vance has no problem making decisions, but he does not like to be flooded with them. "He is very methodical and prefers focusing on one issue at a time," says a State Department Soviet specialist. He works hard, putting in long hours, but is not as tireless as Kissinger was. Vance will take naps when he can. Kissinger would regularly give an aide a fistful of memos for action at 2 a.m. and ask that they be returned-with completed action-at 6 a.m. When Kissinger traveled, secretaries and aides scurried constantly, taking dictation, typing, reproducing material.
