...fair does handsomely by those with fat pocketbooks and fickle palates. Herring lovers will drool at the wide selection offered on Denmark's $6.50 cold board. The Spanish pavilion's Toledo and Granada restaurants dish up a numbing array of French and regional dishes por mucho dinero. Africans in native robes serve groundnut soup and couscous ($4.50) in Africa's Tree House, while the diner finds himself eyeball-to-eyeball with an inquisitive giraffe. Indonesia's seven-course, $7.75 dinner is spiced by whirling Balinese dancers. There are also many good, inexpensive restaurants. Cafe Hilton atop...
...American Way of Life is fast becoming one big sssssssssss. The ubiquitous hiss comes from the vast, ever-expanding array of aerosol cans that has brought the pushbutton age to everyday living.

Today's students are taught by advanced methods, served by an array of sophisticated products. At Fontana, Calif., this fall, fifth and sixth graders will watch pretaped lessons on marine biology on closed-circuit classroom TV screens. Another new departure is a device that permits instant testing of student comprehension by having the students push response buttons after lectures...
Insurance men attribute their woes to an impressive array of factors. They cite rising crime rates, more auto accidents and higher costs for repairs and medical care; repairing a new Chevrolet's dented rear fender, which cost $16.85 twenty years ago, now costs $149.75. Dishonest and fraudulent claims have risen steadily, and juries seem as quick to give out generous awards as state insurance commissions are slow to allow rate increases. As if all these troubles were not enough, the industry has contributed to its dilemma by engaging in a ruinous rate...
