...surpassing excellence about the universalities of human experience. When it begins, it is speeded up like an old Charlie Chaplin picture, showing New York masses rushing to work. On the corner of 42nd and Fifth Avenue, buses and cars go by like military projectiles, and hundreds of people zip across the screen like clouds of buckshot. Then-ping-the whole wide scene suddenly contains nothing but a drop of water in a pool. The movie starts life over again. A little Chinese boy studies a land turtle he has found in a field.

Arriving in San Francisco, Goldwater told newsmen that the John Birch Soci...
...slightly slanting sail. This results in a strong forward force. As the sail pushes forward trying to eliminate the vacuum, an iceboat can attain fantastic speeds -up to five times the actual wind velocity. The ice sailor hauls in the sheet for more and more zip, aims his boat with a tiller that controls the front runner. Then, sometimes, he prays...
