Attended by an array of Senators, Representatives and high-priced legal eagles, seven U.S. airlines appeared before the Civil Aeronautics Board last week and proceeded to knee, butt and gouge each other like dead-end kids battling for a prize. They were in fact battling for a prize, the New York-to-Miami run, estimated to be worth up to $5.5 million annually to the line that gets it.

As Beberman and Page see it, high-school math has sunk to its present state because students learn their theorems and formulas for an array of algebra problems ("If John is twice as old as Jane was four years ago . . ."), but never find out what makes the mathematician's brain work.

...five years in storage and on loan while the collection's ten galleries and corridors were being renovated. There was no doubt that the armor had been missed; up to 2,800 visitors a day thronged the main, banner-decked central court, to see the pick of an array that ranges from the earliest complete set of Gothic armor to the opulent Elizabethan harness once worn by the Queen's Champion, George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland...
