...intercom system. The angle of the crawler platform was constantly adjusted so that Saturn would never tilt more than 4 min. of 1° from true vertical. After negotiating a curve and a 3° slope leading to the launch pad, the crawler successfully delivered its cargo and workmen began bolting the umbilical tower and the Saturn 5 to the pad, getting the huge pair ready to train both ground crews and astronauts. When the crawler next emerges from the assembly building with a cargo, it will be carrying a complete and checked-out Saturn 5 scheduled to be shot...
Less Airmail. The company has bought, stripped to its brick walls and wholly refurbished a 62-year-old, 24-unit tenement, then rented three-fourths of the resulting modern apartments to tenants who had lived there before. Workmen are giving the same treatment to another six-story shambles next door, and four more tenements in the block are in line for similar rescue. Rents, of course, have risen. The rent-controlled apartments once brought $20 to $40 a month. After renovation, U.S. Gypsum collects $65 a month for efficiency apartments, $78 for one-bedroom and $85 for two-bedroom units...

This week workmen will hoist the final structural steel beam into place for Atlanta's 26-story Life Insurance Co. of Georgia building. Los Angeles will celebrate the similar "topping out" of its tallest building yet, the 42-story, $30 million Union Bank Square. In Manhattan, wreckers have just begun smashing a ramshackle clutch of century-old eyesores to make room for the world's highest skyscrapers, the twin 110-story 1,350-ft. structures of the Port of New York Authority's World Trade Center.* Boston's State Street Bank & Trust Co. is busy shifting...
...Negotiations. The ideal solution to the problem, say Law Professors Robert Keeton of Harvard and Jeffrey O'Connell of Illinois, would be a system lor getting more money to victims while charging less for policies, and clearing most of the accident cases out of over worked courts. Like workmen's compensation insurance, the professors' "basic protection plan" permits recovery without proof of fault. As worked out in a new book, Basic Protection for the Traffic Victim (Little, Brown; $13.50), the plan requires every car owner to carry a policy that would pay all of a victim...
