...rounds, lingering on from visiting hours to visiting hours, looking out of the window, hoping for a nurse with some extra time for a chat, this is the way many terminally ill patients pass their time. Is it then surprising when such a patient is intrigued by a strange visitor who wants to talk to her about her own feelings?" From these feelings, freely given, the seminar has been able to trace the five successive stages of life's last journey...
...excessive remark, as any visitor may observe. At the city's airport, machine parts are displayed in glass cases as if they were gems. The highways glitter with the carapaces of new automobiles, while the finned monsters of the '50s have all crawled off to ghetto side streets to die. Even the city's showplaces are touched with the grotesque. Atop its status hotel-a clash of world's fair modern and imitation European traditional-a tired combo plays 1940s two-steps for well-oiled customers, who are served by aging waitresses in miniskirts...
...York is not the one seen by the visitor, not Broadway or Park Avenue, not Greenwich Village or Harlem. Procaccino lives in a suburban setting so far north in The Bronx that the city boundary runs through his backyard. Marchi has a comfortable house in another outlying region, Staten Island.

If the visitor can ignore for a moment the debate over federal spending priorities and the space program's other political blemishes, he can actually recapture that old excitement about space flight-the thrill of these first Shepard, Grissom, and Glenn flights almost a decade...
...acre tract of hilly countryside in Windham County in the extreme southeastern corner of Vermont. There is little to be amazed about-except the beauty of the area. The air is clean and fresh; the lakes and streams are full of trout and bass. A sharp-eyed visitor might glimpse deer flashing through the woods, or a fox, raccoon, bobcat or woodchuck. Man's hand has not yet transformed the landscape. Just three of a projected 1,735 houses have been built, and most of the promised amenities are visible only on the pages of the glossy brochure...
