...spacecraft travel, this was surely the slowest trip on record-nine hours to cover all of 3½ miles. But as it moved from NASA's Vertical Assembly Building to launch pad 39-A at Cape Kennedy last week, the mammoth Saturn 5 rocket, an engineless version of the vehicle that will take the first U.S. astronauts to the moon, crawled through an impressive catalogue of superlatives. This was the largest rocket in the world, emerging from the largest building in the world, to travel on one of the largest self-propelled land vehicles in the world...

("I get the impression that when the President speaks he is speaking under our heads"), and then excused himself from partisan politics: "I am like the little old lady who said: 'I never vote; it only encourages them...
What makes the Club Méditerranée a success is its prices, usually less than a traveler on his own would spend on air fare alone.

Two weeks at the Djerba, Tunisia, village costs $200. Three weeks in Tahiti costs $1,120-or $660 less than the economy air fare from...

Certainly some unimaginative travel agent chose the in-and-around-London locations: Trafalgar Square, the Zoo, the Royal Enclosure at Ascot. A consultant on film fads surely recommended the modish scenes of violence, since the villains pursuing Sophia Loren and Gregory Peck from one landmark to the next seldom just take...
Others have happily joined in. Standard Oil Co. (Indiana) sells auto and travel accident policies written by its own insurance subsidiary; Chicago's Carson Pirie Scott & Co. department store offers Concord Life $10,000 term life insurance to its charge-account customers. Though the card companies earn only a modest fee of 20? to 50? on each premium billed, they are eager to offer new services and thus keep otherwise dormant accounts active...
