...Station. Raytheon's microwave power transmission was developed under a contract with the Air Force, which confidently expects that later helicopters will be built to operate without guide wires. There should be no trouble making them hover at 50,000 ft. carrying a payload equal to their own weight. At this height they will be able to send line-of-sight communication beams to similar vehicles 600 miles away. As TV stations they will be capable of serving an area 50 times larger than can be reached by a 1,000-ft. tower. As radar stations, they could each...

Rents at The Cove range from $185 for a one-bedroom apartment, to $525 for three bedrooms. On the outskirts of Los Angeles, the Penthouse apartments hover over the Pacific shore line, offer tenants a beach, a Gay Nineties-style billiard room, and an acre of terraced gardens with olive, orange and lemon trees...

With Hamlet held over until August and nine weeks still to go, his lady is sure to keep the show off the road and onto the street...
...most majestic when its snowy peaks are lit by the sunrise and borne aloft on lacy clouds. Sikkim contains every variety of climate and plant, from the subtropical through the temperate to the arctic. Snow leopards prowl the Himalayan slopes, pandas frolic in the forested gorges, clouds of butterflies hover over 3,000 different kinds of rhododendron and 400 types of orchid...
