...American Airlines last week went a fast tax write-off certificate for a big new expansion program. American plans to spend $47 million for 25 Douglas DC-7s (bigger and faster than DC-6s), hopes to start flying them on its routes late next year. The DC-7s, said American, will be the last piston-engine transports it will buy. After them, the airline hopes to get into the jet age (see below...
...benefits to the West. But their impact is even greater on a land which has been slumbering since Nebuchadnezzar. Kings, sheiks and shahs have become the new tycoons-some of the world's richest men in some of the world's poorest countries. A civilization of DC-6s, Parker "513" and air-conditioned trailers has descended on proud, backward peoples...
...from Almeria. Last month, at the opening of Madrid's Hispano-American Art Biennale, Perceval drew the critics' praise for his Beheading of the Innocents, a large Renaissance-style canvas with eclectically costumed figures, including Roman soldiers, Andalusian mothers and a sky full of angels and DC-6s.

Last week Baker got his reward: CAB dropped...

Delta is also the more profitable: during the past three years its net has increased fourfold to $815,751; in the first eight months of this year, Northeast netted only $274,000. With both ends of the combination getting more long-haul traffic, Delta and Northeast figure that their total business would jump by 50% under the merger. Together...
