Time capsules are as popular now as they were on July 4, 1876. In Seward, Neb., a discount hardware store owner named Harold Davisson last year interred a 1975 Chevrolet in a crypt of concrete and steel. This year he is adding a blue Kawasaki motorcycle. Also in the vault are a Teflon frying pan, a bolt of polyester fabric, a zipper, a pair of bikini panties and a man's aquamarine leisure suit...
