...AGENDA for the Bicentennial is now becoming clear. President Ford's pilgrimage to Boston's Old North Church to Concord's Minuteman Statue, and to Lexington's Green was certainly only the first of a series of flash visits that will commemorate the valiant efforts of the hard-working colonial farmers who left their small plots to fight for independence from the British. As April turns into May and June and the hot days of summer, the executive caravan will follow its pompish route through the cities and towns of the Eastern Seaboard, invoking the heroic patriotism and noble sacrifice...
...other fundamental problems with market strategy that would not be cured by a quick sales upturn. Officials at other auto firms fault Chrysler for having tried to match GM in sheer model proliferation in the 1960s, but then being slow to meet the growing small-car market.

Rejlander tried to use multiple imagery--painstakingly assembled in the darkroom--to create "historical" pictures, portraying in one vast tableau all the heroes, villains, and valiant deeds of great events. They more or less failed, but for thirty years, the so-called "Photo-secession" or pictorialist school produced soft-focus, dreamy images with such titles as "Madonna with Child" or "Blessed Art Thou Among Women...
...cats, there are Prince Valiant suede tents, "powder-room screens," fiber-glass igloos and a Ko-Z Cat Cottage with pile carpeting, a sun deck, catnip bar and built-in mouse hole. For animals left behind by vacationing owners, pet motels and inns vie to offer such features as wall-to-wall AstroTurf, brass beds, Snoopy linen, piped-in music, color TV, bathrooms, beauty parlors, air conditioning, thrice-daily cookie breaks, and meals cooked to clients' specifications (including kosher diets). If the pet travels with his owners, there are guides listing only hotels and motels that welcome...
