...Thank you for a most informative and forthright account of the story of the Protestant Reformation as seen through the eyes of that intriguing personage, Martin Luther [March 24]. I am grateful that this generation is increasingly developing an appreciation for this remarkable German Christian who was both saint and sinner at the same time. Luther may have rediscovered the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but he belongs to the whole Christian Church and not to Lutherans alone. Your compelling article goes a long way toward making this clear...
...legislators worry about accepting expense-account meals or attending lavish parties. Paid hotel suites, rides in company planes, weekends or vacations can be a little trickier. Practically every member of Congress has some wealthy friends and acquaintances, many of them with country houses where a legislator can recuperate from the Washington wear and tear. Indiana's Charles Halleck, onetime Republican House minority leader, judiciously chooses speaking dates in localities near hunting or fishing lodges owned by his longtime friends, to which he can slip away once his political appearance is done with...
...London Times was not content with just a pool. The Sunday Times and the daily Times had bought exclusive rights to Chichester's own account and had assigned a go-for-broke Australian, Murray Sayle, to handle the story.

Despite the danger of overloading his Piper Apache, Fuenzalida squeezed...
...Plums in Sight. For some time, North American has been fretting about its dependence on Government contracts, which now account for more than 95% of its business. Though space and Pentagon orders have swollen annual sales beyond $2 billion for the past three years, in 1965 the company lost its No. 1 spot to rival Boeing, which also happened to be fat with commercial orders. If and when the supersonic-transport program gets under way, North American will assemble wing sections for the prime contractor (Boeing again), but so far its only sizable commercial airframe business is building Sabreliner corporate...
...Pittsburgh, at the same time, Rockwell had been planning to get into space-age technology, breezily predicting that Rockwell-Standard would soon be "a $1 billion corporation." Axles, springs and other vehicle parts still account for 65% of Rockwell-Standard's $636 million sales, though Founder and Chairman Willard Sr., 79, got a diversification drive off the ground in 1958, when he bought what is now the company's plane-making Aero Commander division. When Willard Jr. read of North American's plans in the press last September, he invited Atwood to Pittsburgh for talks...
