Scorning relaxation despite his mounting fortune-he owns 52.5% of McDonald's Corp. stock, has given the rest to employees-Kroc still spends half his time darting about the country in a company Aero Commander to size up new locations and licensees. To keep his drive-ins from becoming teen-ager jukebox jungles, he tries to build his trade around the station-wagon set. ("We count church steeples, not cars, when we are deciding where to locate.") And despite mounting competition from a score of rival chains that have copied his system, he confidently expects to have 550 drive...
...wide terraces. There, G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, made some sort of diplomatic fashion history by appearing in cutaway coat and green polka-dot bow tie. There, too, Bobby announced the U.S. gift to Houphouet-Boigny of a beige, two-engined Aero Commander plane. (The Ivory Coast's President is scared of flying, but he appreciated the sentiment.)

And for Guy Périllat, who hits flat-out speeds of up to 70 m.p.h. in downhill races, aero dynamics are important...
...more than 100 suits against the company. By October Southern was not only flying all of its routes but also had added a new leg in Tennessee. There upon the striking pilots, backed by $300,000 from ALPA, decided to form their own line as a subsidiary of Valparaiso Aero Service, a charter service in Indiana. They leased five seven-passenger de Havilland Doves. Since Valparaiso already had FAA certification as an air taxi service, Superior did not need a certificate to fly scheduled routes. While the striking pilots do not have the planes to compete with Southern...
