It proposes that such narratives accelerated time in cultures where it became increasingly common to traverse spatial distances. In this way, visual histories are not simply guides to the times, but guides to time itself.

The song's lyrics describe a young "petit Parisien" proudly living in what he celebrates as a home replete with the comforts of the modern world: "un ascenseur et un' sall' de bain. On a la télé, le téléphone…"* 1 His apartment is also close enough to the airport named in the song's title to hear the "Boeing night birds." But this song was hardly the battle cry of an incipient environmentalist movement. It describes, rather, an experience in which many Parisians partook: that of passing "un dimanche à Orly." In large numbers, families such as this one (Figure 1) went to the airport dressed in their Sunday best, an updated version of spending "Sunday in the country." The song's chorus suggests what they might have been doing there: "watch(ing) the planes take off for all the countries, giving me things to dream about." The song's young dreamer, the lyrics continue, chooses to go to the airport rather than to watch sports on television as his father does, and pledges his determination to one day view his own apartment building as a little blip from on high, while seated in one of the new jet planes for which a new-fangled airport had just been built. "Dimanche à Orly" is not the sole jet age anthem (consider "Leavin' On a Jet Plane" in 1966) to celebrate the dream and fulfillment of speedy travel to far-flung places made possible by the introduction of regular jet service between major cities in 1958. Bécaud's song, however, positions the jet not simply in the context of travel but also alongside other new technologies such as elevators, televisions, and the modern bathrooms that were reshaping everyday life in France in 1963. As the country recovered from wartime penury and immediate postwar austerity, consumer culture flourished. Machines and

One such approach that has gained popularity in Malaysian private hospitals, in recent years, is relationship marketing. This study examined the extent to which relationship marketing strategies are used to improve customer satisfaction and maintain customer loyalty. The study results indicate that a good relationship marketing strategy can be crucial for private hospitals to gain a competitive edge, especially with the rapid development of private hospitals in the urban centres.
