...Yards were President Kennedy's first choice for the library, but when the Metropolitan Transit Authority found itself unable to relocate repair and storage facilities, the President agreed to the B-School...
...spotless beaches where no eating, drinking, "disrobing" or ball playing is allowed; miles of boardwalk ideal for cool-hour bicycling (from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. only); an excellent golf course. Its 24-hour jitney bus service at 20? a ride is one of the best and chummiest rapid-transit systems anywhere. And for slow-slow transit, the boardwalk's famed "rolling chairs," both motorized and hand-propelled, give jaded visitors the most opulent ride this side of a ricksha. Moreover, Atlantic City's dilapidated hotels and peeling boardinghouses are rapidly being supplanted by clean, comfortable, pool-flanked...
Comfort & Speed. All this activity -and a surge in orders for more conventional equipment - has transformed the nation's transit-car makers from a sick industry only five years ago into a healthy one today. The three major carbuilders this year expect to ship 700 cars v. an average of 425 cars per year since 1956.

...boomlet has come chiefly from the five big U.S. cities that still have rapid rail transit: New York, Chicago, Boston, Cleveland and Philadelphia. But Atlanta and Washington, D.C., are planning new systems, Philadelphia is already engineering one, and even Los Angeles is toying with the idea. San Francisco, having broken ground for a three-county, $925 million system - the nation's biggest in more than half a century - is testing four systems of computer-controlled train operation proposed by General Electric, Westinghouse Electric, Westinghouse Air Brake and General Signal. With all this going on, industry experts predict that annual...
Buying at Home. The newest spur to transit building comes from the Administration, which has asked Congress for a $225 million appropriation to get the 1964 Mass Transit Act rolling. The law is expected to stimulate $600 million worth of transit-car purchases over a decade, also mean an additional $400 million in sales for such busbuilders as General Motors and the Flxible Co. of Dayton. Whatever the total, U.S. equipment makers will get all of it. Congress tacked a little-noticed "Buy American" proviso into...
