...wheel does not jabber, there is no traffic to sit through, tips are often forbidden and the view is exhilarating. This is a taxi? In many parts of the U.S., it is−an air taxi, the fastest-growing segment of U.S. aviation. Air taxis link the 600 cities served by scheduled airlines with more than 6,000 communities that are not, carry businessmen, government officials and celebrities where they need to go in a hurry, and perform hundreds of functions from serving as ambulances to charting forest fires. In the past ten years, while 13 major airlines have shrunk...
...Kamekura boasts that he is performing a badly needed service: "When it comes to doing away with the strains and stresses of big-city living, there's nothing more effective than fishing. And you can fish right here in Tokyo without battling your way through impossible traffic to the sea or mountain brooks." For 170 yen (470) a customer receives a bamboo rod baited with either a fly or an earthworm.

Poolroom Processing. Modern seismometers have such good ears that they must be buried deep in relatively uninhabited areas to be as free as possible from the surface noises of wind, rain, traffic and grazing cattle. Known as LASA, for Large Aperture Seismic Array, the Montana system was laid out to get the best possible signal-to-noise ratio; it promises to provide a twentyfold improvement in the U.S.'s ability to detect seismic signals. With so many instruments spaced so far apart, it will also be possible to trace the direction and distance of an incoming signal because...
