...thing it really wants -an end to the strike. Nor, it seems, can negotiators for the striking Teamsters union and the papers. The main issue is automation-a new multimillion-dollar Post-Dispatch printing plant has made obsolete the jobs of some of the 32 Teamsters who load papers on and off delivery trucks. Last week the Globe-Democrat went to court to seek a settlement, and Mayor John Poelker said he would step in to mediate the strike. Meanwhile the readers wait...
...beside their hogs or sheep or cattle, while their parents catch the last shuttle back up the hill to where the family camper is parked. Even the midway finally shuts down, and an unaccustomed calm falls over the fairgrounds. Fairgoers somehow find their cars in the mammoth parking lot, load in the family and drive out the gates back to their own lives. Out side the fair, there are harder choices than whether to see the milking contest or the quilt making, and the world of blue ribbons, cotton candy and lemon shakes is something fanciful and far away.

...often suggested to meet these requirements is to freeze the soft soil under the foundation. But engineers point out that such a move might only shift the load to lower levels of subsoil that are even softer and more likely to give way.

Recently, for example, one driver who had been misdirected from Jacksonville to Houston was told to turn around and go to Baltimore instead. Douglas also broadcasts warnings, mostly phoned in by truckers, about collisions, closed highways, bad road conditions, and speed traps (like the one that long flourished, ironically...
That was the official American account of the damage inflicted after a B-52 Stratofortress last week mistakenly emptied its 20-ton load on Neak Luong, 38 miles southeast of Phnom-Penh. But when reporters later visited Neak Luong, a sleepy town of 5,000, they wondered whether they and Colonel Opfer were talking about the same place. Instead of "minimal" damage, as Opfer had described it, they found horrifying devastation-enough to make it the worst bombing error of the long Indochina war. At least 137 Cambodians were killed and 268 wounded. A mile-long string of more than...
