(for Olbert Fearing) Lassiter, 47, who retired two years ago as an Air Force brigadier general after a 30-year military career that took him from National Guard private to Strategic Air Command division commander. Lassiter obtained financing from a Pennsylvania Railroad subsidiary, signed up a board of directors that includes former Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis E. Le-May and Actor Jimmy Stewart, a reserve one-star general. Lassiter's 41 pilots were largely recruited among SAC veterans and former pilots of the Special Air Mission squadron in Washington; three...

More to the point, a new eight-man Austro-Hungarian border commission called at the house of Claudia's parents to inspect fragments of the exploded mine, and the Hungarians officially admitted their guilt. The Foreign Ministry in Budapest promised to try to improve the situation, possibly (as the Austrians recommended) by damming the rivers temporarily and retrieving some of the lost mines from...
