...sure-as the -crocus crocuses croci that come up in the spring, Greek and Latin words have always popped up to decorate the -tficuna- bulum incunabula of a writer who wanted his memorandum memoranda to sound more important than -it -is. they are. The data 4s-are not complete, but it appears that this -phe-. nomena phenomenon occurs most often nowadays within the strata stratum of people concerned with newspapers, magazines, television and radio-in a word, media. Trouble is, the media 4s are not singular; 4t-4s-they are plural, as 4s-are candelabra. According to this criteria criterion...
Outboard racing has come a long way since the days when a handful of happy-go-lucky amateurs tooled around in one-cylinder put-puts. Today's engines are V-4s and straight 6s, pounding out 155 h.p. And there are as many as three of the monsters on each craft. Outboard Marine readily admits to spending 1 % of its gross outboard sales on its racing team, and rumors are that Kiekhaefer, maker of Mercury engines, invests as much as $3,000,000 a year pn dozens of races at California's Tahoe, Elsinore and Parker...
...will be the largest American maneuver in Europe in the past five years. Its aim is to demonstrate the U.S.'s ability, in the event of a crisis, to airlift swiftly large numbers of U.S. troops to the NATO theater. The flown-in army units and F-4s are particularly suited to illustrate the point since they were permanently stationed in West Germany until last year.

EVERYBODY in this shabby capital knows about it, but few will talk. The unmarked planes, however, are there for all to see: four DC-4s, three DC-3s and a single Constellation, parked on the palm-lined seaside tarmac. Patient research shows that the aircraft have varied registration-French, German, Belgian, Zambian, Biafran and Gabonese. Each afternoon, three or four planes taxi to the nearby military airfield for loading, then take off for Biafra at 6 p.m. sharp. They return around midnight, after the 900-mile round trip. Just as predictable as the flights is the black Citroen, owned...
...years, E.A.A. has compiled an estimable safety record, survived the turbulence of independence from Britain, built up a jet-age fleet that includes three Super VC-10s and three Comet 4s. Grandly declaring itself "the fastest-growing airline in black Africa," it has more than doubled revenues from 1962 to last year's record $36.4 million. And few airlines can claim anything like its earnings record. For each of the past 14 years, E.A.A. has had a comfortable profit; last year it cleared an estimated...
