Reason: to finance purchase of three Boeing 737s. Smoothing the way was the Civil Aeronautics Board, which hopes that the venture will offer better service to the 49th state, as well as can cel the need by the two lines for sub sidies that last year amounted...
Nowhere was Italy's automania more evident last week than at Turin's 49th annual International Motor Show. Huge crowds packed 580 displays from 15 nations, including the Soviet Union. Most popular of all, with its dazzling display of models in attractive shapes and sizes, was Turin's own Fiat, which is having its best year ever. At home, Fiat has cornered 75% of the market.

At one time or another, sites for a new Met were planned on 49th Street, 57th Street, 59th Street, 63rd Street, 110th Street, Washington Square, on the ground floor of the Seagram Building and underneath the Queensboro Bridge. In 1938, a 3,700-seat theater was actually built in Rockefeller Center to be used by the Met, but when the acoustics proved faulty...
