...Levi's version can never be quite the same as Gatsby's "white suit with a silver shirt and a gold-colored tie." But if designers like Albini and Lauren are right, the zigzag cycle of nostalgic fashion has found its next turn. "Can't repeat the past?" cried Gatsby incredulously. "Why, of course you can. I'm going to fix everything just the way it was before." Got that, Sport...
...casements. An armor-plated Marine helicopter made repeated passes as the cops tried to blast through the walls, but the sniper shots kept coming. Finally, eleven hours after the violence had begun, one lone sniper darted under the glare of a helicopter spotlight, ran about 30 ft. in a zigzag pattern across the rooftop, and fell dead in a hail of police tracer bullets, his body riddled with more than 100 slugs...

(Ground controllers will still have to approve the route and monitor the flight to avoid conflict with other planes.) Furthermore, R-Nav will relieve bottlenecks near airports. Aircraft will be able...
