...Figaro & Fruit Juice. As a government-owned counterpart of huge, foreign-flying Air France, Air Inter began operating in 1960 as France's first and only domestic airline. "Why bother?" asked many Frenchmen, accustomed to zipping along France's long, poplar-lined roads at Citroen speed-80 m.p.h. and upward. Air Inter soon proved why. Cramming passengers into mini-bucket seats, and serving only Le Figaro and fruit juice in flight, the line carried 16,000 passengers in its first year, passed 500,000 in 1964, reached 1,170,000 last year. It started with a handful...
...place to stay in. If you go out, you're going to the barbarian outside, where there's nothing. Chinese culture is Sino-centric, and today the people are still concerned with what's going on inside the country. They wish the outside would disappear and not bother them. This is very different from a seafaring country including not only the Japanese, ourselves and the British--but all these countries around the world, particularly in Europe, who, living on peninsulas, became seafaring and voyaged afar...

It doesn't bother Weiss that all his fellow interns have two more calendar years of medical school behind them. "I feel I'm among peers," he says matter-of-factly. So, apparently, do many of the almost 70 other young M.D.s who graduated this year from three U.S. medical campuses that have reduced the normal medical curriculum by two years...
Although he had a battered 1962 Chevrolet to make those ends meet, he sometimes had a couple of classes scheduled at the same hour. This didn't bother Walter, and besides, his study habits were rather erratic anyway. "He works best in spurts," says a fellow student. "Walter gets way behind; then he panics and does in a couple of days the same work that most Harvard and M.I.T. students take a month...
