...long day passes into night and they have all tried their escapes, they come together again to one another. The memories--Mary's wedding-dress, Edwin Booth's praise for James years ago--lie in the attic trunk above, whispering waste and despair. Love has imposed a mighty toll upon their lives, but in the end it binds them together, wracked by pity and fear. Young Edmund's hopeless citation of Nietzsche, "God is dead: of His pity for man hath God died," is forgotten. O'Neill has forgiven the Tyrones as we must forgive all mankind...
...cutthroat competition, said that three small lines, for example, could pool their ten monthly flights and run what would amount to a fully scheduled service. But the CAB pointed out that most nonskeds are only one or two-plane operations, are far too small to hurt the big trunk lines. Furthermore, said CAB, it had specifically reserved the right to reduce the number of scheduled flights if nonskeds started ganging up on the most profitable runs flown by big carriers. Said a CAB official: "This is a classic example of crying before you're hurt. The plain fact...
...depict Adam and Eve (see cut) Brancusi returned not to full-bloom Renaissance goddesses but to woman as a primitive symbol of fertility, and Adam as the product of his primitive tools, axed out of wood with a neck suggesting both a tree trunk and a wine press.

Recently, it approved a whole series of competitive new routes. T.W.A., Capital and Northwest got new, nonstop runs between New York and Chicago in competition with United and American; United got a nonstop Chicago-to-Seattle run in competition with Northwest, while Northwest in turn got a local nonstop Detroit...
Though the new Continental has been redesigned from rubber to roof, it is deliberately reminiscent of its famed predecessor. The body is long (18 ft. 2 in.) and low (56 in.). The spare-tire mount, a hallmark of the old Continental, is now molded into the trunk lid. Under its 6-ft. hood is a souped-up Lincoln engine with an estimated 300 h.p. (because Ford wants to avoid a horsepower contest with other big cars, the exact figures are secret). Automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes and power windows are standard equipment; the sole optional feature is air conditioning...
