...open profanity," punishable by statute. Tennessee forbids teaching evolution as contrary to the Bible. Congress pays chaplains to intone superstitions at every session. Chaplains are paid handsomely by the military services, a situation of which Thomas Jefferson took a dim view. Practitioners of organized religion get special rates on transport, entertainment and in many other areas, which amounts to a subsidy from taxpayers.

Today there are 14. In April 1965, there were 15 airfields that could take C-130 transport aircraft. We now have 89. Then, there was one deepwater port for seagoing ships. Now there are seven. In 1965, ships had to wait weeks to unload. We now turn them around in as little as one week. A year ago, there was no long-haul highway transport. Last month...

Trucks roared along the city streets 24 hours a day, dumped thousands of tons of fill from the subway excavation into the river, extended the mud flat that was the He Sainte-Hélène and created the He Notre Dame, which became Expo's major sites. New bridges, a spaghetti pattern of elevated highways, and a theater complex, Place des Arts, were constructed. To provide an upstream system of ice control...
...companies should make a good fit. Pittsburgh, the nation's 14th largest steelmaker, lacks modern galvanizing facilities that Wheeling has in quantity. Pittsburgh's finishing capacity should help Wheeling recapture lost customers. Best of all, the two plants are linked by cheap water transport, the Ohio and Monongahela rivers. Despite his selloff, Simon kept a 4% interest in Wheeling (100,000 shares). If the price climbs eleven points from last week's close of 21⅜, Simon could yet escape from his bath in steel with a profit...
