What Sort of Woman Is the Queen?
Forget the cloying descriptions of courtiers and the indiscretions of Crawfie and her friends, and the portrait is rather an appealing one.
Elizabeth II in person is much prettier than her photographs. Her colouring is excellent. Her mouth, a touch wide, can break into a beguiling smile. She is only slowly overcoming her nervousness in public. She still becomes very angry when the newsreel and television cameras focus on her for minutes at a time. Her voice high and girlish on her accession, is taking on a deeper, more musical tone. Years of state duties, meeting all kinds and classes of people have banished her shyness...
All her adult life the Queen has been accustomed to the company of the great. Aided by a phenomenal memory and real interest,
her acquaintance with politics is profound. Perhaps because of the political outcry that would arise in Britain, she says little about domestic politics. But she follows them closely. She is intelligent, but not an intellectual. She does a great deal of official reading, so much so that she reads little for pleasure...

New York to Los Angeles in 21 Minutes by Subway
Around the world in three hours by subway? It may not be all that far-fetched. The technology for a tubecraft system is in the offing.
Researchers at the Rand Corporation envision a "tubecraft" system capable of carrying passengers between New York City and Los Angeles in 21 minutes. The VHST (Very High Speed Transit) vehicles would shoot through airless tunnels deep underground at nearly 14,000 miles per hour.
A tubecraft would look like a streamlined subway car without wheels or a subterranean airplane without wings. According to Dr. Robert M. Salter, Rand's head of physical sciences, the vehicle would ride on, and be driven by electromagnetic waves, "much as a surfboard rides the ocean's waves". Superconducting cables would produce powerful opposing magnetic fields, so the 100-passenger craft would float in the middle of the tube, and air would be pumped from the tunnels to reduce friction.
A proposed route would connect New York City with Los Angeles with brief stopovers in Chicago and Amarillo, Texas. Even with these stops, the total transcontinental time would be only 37 minutes. There would also be a network of connecting tunnels to Boston, Denver, San Francisco and other major cities.
Dr. Salter believes a coast-to-coast tunnel could pay for itself in about 30 years. He estimates that the central corridor of the system would cost about $90 billion, although the price could come down with such advances in tunnel building as nuclear or laser drills.
Not only would tube travel be faster than air travel and other modes of transportation, it would also be cleaner and more efficient in terms of energy consumption.
