...capable runways in South Viet Nam. Today there are 14. In April 1965, there were 15 airfields that could take C-130 transport aircraft. We now have 89. Then, there was one deepwater port for seagoing ships. Now there are seven. In 1965, ships had to wait weeks to unload. We now turn them around in as little as one week. A year ago, there was no long-haul highway transport. Last month alone, 160,000 tons of supplies were moved over the highways. During the last year, the mileage of essential highways open for our use has risen from...

...Liveright, still strapped, was ready to unload his Modern Library, a shelf of 950 reprint classics whose only liability was a distinct and unpleasant odor emanating from the binding glue. Cerf rounded up Donald Klopfer, put the arm on his Wall Street uncle, and snapped up the Modern Library, smell and all, for $200,000. Within three years, Klopfer and Cerf, having retired their debts, decided to branch out by publishing a few new books at random. Thus was Random House born...
