...elevator capsules with clear plastic fronts rocket visitors to the top so fast and so openly that fair officials joke about erecting a saloon at the needle's base called the Chicken-Out Inn. The dining spot above, called the Eye of the Needle, enables the visitor to watch the lakes and mountains glide by while he dines on such regional specialties as Dungeness crab, tiny, wild-flavored Olympia oysters, and grilled salmon steaks at $6.75 table-d'hote. Since the central core does not revolve, a waitress going into the kitchen for an order has to check...
...staircases are built to discourage adults) is one of the fair's best shows.

But they warn that the market is in a "trading range,'' i.e., one where as many stocks go down as go up. and that to make money, a selective investor must watch for undervalued shares of companies with strong profit potentials. A minority of Wall Streeters even suggest that the next peak may mark the end of the Great Bull Market-which has persisted for 15 years despite temporary setbacks.
