...race tracks is the 38-year-old Monaco Grand Prix course. It is really not a track at all-merely a hair-raising path through the city streets of Monte Carlo, barely wide enough to allow one car to pass another, and replete with such hazards as a curving tunnel in the middle of a 120-m.p.h. straightaway and two hairpins. It is hard enough to steer a Corvair around a 180° turn, let alone a 400-h.p. Formula I racing car. In the past 15 years, the winner's speed has climbed from 58.2 m.p.h...
...numerous, ever more diffuse clientele. Many rivulets must be channeled to irrigate many users." For that reason, the Rothschild Bank, up to now the eleventh largest among French investment banks, will open branches and solicit smaller accounts. The money will be used on such Rothschild projects as a channel tunnel to England and high-speed trains. Finishing up his press conference, Guy de Rothschild cheerily demonstrated what he means by democratization. He and Wife Marie Helene, 35, attired for the occasion in a striking minidress, escorted newsmen to the partners' dining room for a toast in whisky and chilled...
...many underground pipelines tunnel beneath the sprawling U.S. petrochemical center near Houston that the area has come to be known as the "Spaghetti Bowl." In its own subterranean surge, Western Europe seems to be cooking up a sort of alphabet soup. Ten years abuilding, its 3,000-mile crude-oil-carrying network includes such giants as the 283-mile R.R.P. (for Rotterdam-Rhine Pipeline), the 485-mile S.E.P.L. (South European Pipeline), and the 562-mile C.E.L. (Central European Line). Engineers are now making final tests on the newest, richest ingredient of all: the $192 million T.A.L...
...Thais raise their rifles, the earth nearby explodes from hidden mines-a sequence that has caused many Thai soldiers initially to drop their rifles in fright. But there is more to the Green Beret village than shooting. The Thais learn the guerrilla's subtleties: an escape tunnel beneath the village huts, a cache of arms buried under the little shrine of a phi spirit house, which all but Thai Communists might consider sacrosanct. The Thais value their tough training all the more because each graduating company is immediately sent into the northeast to meet the real foe face...
...past two decades, Merritt-Chapman has had a hand in more than $1.5 billion worth of construction work, including the Mackinac Bridge, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the Niagara Power Project, the Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona, Priest Rapids Dam in Washington and the New Jersey Turnpike. The company also undertook smaller projects ranging from roads in Ethiopia to Air Force early-warning stations in Labrador...
