...total flights would improve all the airlines' earnings; indeed, under such an arrangement the hard-pressed, unsubsidized U.S. carriers would certainly lose. U.S. airlines point out that far from having more than a fair share of the business, the American flight schedules exactly match the actual pattern of travel between the two countries, which is about 60% by Americans and 32% by Britons...
...then, the widespread suspicion of profits? In the U.S., the biggest reason is probably a wild misunderstanding of just how much profit corporations actually make. In one poll conducted by the Opinion Research Corp. of Princeton, N.J., a majority of those questioned thought that companies averaged 330 profit on each dollar of sales. A sampling of college students by Standard & Poor's yielded an even higher estimate: 450. The actual figure is below 50 -and the overall trend has been downward. According to a FORTUNE survey, the 1975 median profit margin of the nation's 500 largest industrial...

Most important, the bank took financial risks that resulted in a higher percentage of bad loans than its competitors.

Last winter the Federal Reserve reportedly placed Chase on its "problem" list (TIME, Jan. 26) and criticized the bank's loan operation as suffering from...
During the eight-hour pole vault final I was vocally rooting for United States entrants Dave Roberts and Earl Bell. I fear that if I had not, the tense, close competition which featured more of athletes psyching each other and themselves than actual leaping would have been a more effective cure for insomnia than a bottle of Nytol. Certainly, as the endless, often meaningless myriad of women's and men's track heats was paraded before me, the eye searched hopefully for a familiar face and the blue and red costumes with USA lettering on which to focus...
