...increase in fares for the HSA charter flights to Europe this summer. Therefore I set out to find out exactly what is involved in chartering a plane and how much it actually costs.

Therefore, for making all the arrangements we should all be grateful to HSA for fighting the red tape. After all, the HSA charters are still cheaper than the commercial fares (yet their flight to Chicago this Christmas was not significantly cheaper, as HSA was not able...

He will explain Japan's viewpoint on trade with Peking: that commerce should be separated from politics.

Thousands of French astrologers last week were telling tens of thousands of their anxious clients to watch their step in 1965.

...Road to Freedom by John Stewart The words rang with new meaning in the chill night air, and the two folk singers were understandably a little anxious. On either side of the makeshift stage, grim-faced soldiers stood guard with burp guns at the ready while a barrage of flares, tracer bullets and phosphorous shells exploded and flashed eerily in the distance. But the singers sang out lustily. The audience, Vietnamese troops with rifles cradled in their arms, listened intently to their next song, Raghupati, one of Mahatma Gandhi's favorite hymns...
