...warmer and sunnier climate, there is ancient Kiev, 490 miles southwest of Moscow, on the Dnieper River. The Ukrainian capital, known as the "Mother of Cities," dates back to the 5th century. It was Christianized by Vladimir I in the 10th century; the main shopping area is still called Street of the Cross. Today a garden city with many parks and chestnut trees, Kiev draws tourists to the gold-domed St. Sophia Cathedral, one of the great masterpieces of Russian architecture, and to the nearby ravine of Babi Yar, the infamous spot commemorated in Evtushenko's poem, where some...
...clear fog around Paris' Orly Airport, would be prohibitively costly to install along miles of highway. Like silver-iodide seeding-another technique used to clear fog from airports-the Orly system is effective only against fogs that occur at below-freezing temperatures; most New Jersey fogs form at warmer temperatures. The propane jets also have a side effect that makes them even more impractical for highway use: they generate light snowfalls that have actually been blamed for a chain of auto collisions on a road in the vicinity of Orly...
Liberal & Likable. His successor appears to be both cooler in approach and warmer in personality.

He also served as chargé d'affaires in India and nuncio to Haiti, and since 1956 has discharged his functions as apostolic...
...strong plastic heat exchanger, a line of nylon shutters and plastic vanity tops, and a compound called Zeset that keeps wool sweaters shrinkproof and enables felt hats to retain their shape and stiffness. For the future, Du Pont researchers envision such wonders as ski jackets that grow thicker and warmer when the temperature drops, curtains that change color or covering power when the sun hits, a fiber product that will remove salt or waste from water. Of course, as Treasurer Evans says, "we can't expect another nylon." Or could it happen? The company is already building a plant...
...Immigrating there from Russia, Brothers Nathan and Joseph Shapiro devised a technique of using rotary bakers instead of the single-line machinery in common use. Borrowing $10,000 from an uncle, they formed their own company, soon moved it to Baltimore-logically assuming that, since the weather there was warmer ice-cream sales would be higher...
