         A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery that a sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects people in the way that a sudden increase in crime does Appleyard observed this by finding three blocks of bouses in San Francisco that looked much alike and had the same kind of middle-class and working-class residents,with approximately the same ethnic mix.The difference was that only 2000 cars a day ran down Octavia Street(LIGHT street,in Appleyard's terminology)white Gough Street(MEDIUM street)was used by 8.000 cars daily,and Franklin Street(HEAVY street)had around 16.000 cars a day.Franklin street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia had in a day.

        Heavy traffic brought with it danger,noise,fumes,and soot,dirctly,and trash secondarily.That is,the cars didn't bring in much trash,but when trash accumulated,residents seldom picked it up.The cars,Appleyards determined,reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes.Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses.Most families with children had already left.

        Conditions on Octavia Street were much different.Residents picked up trash.They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors.They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.

        On Gough Street,residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased.People were becoming more ad more preoccupied with their own lives.A number of families had recently moved and more were considering.Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
