...contrast, CBS's Super Bowl coverage was unimaginative and, worse, cluttered with cliches and network promotions. One "promo" actually ran right through a kickoff. Paid commercials also got in the way-but it was easy to see why. Commercial time for the Super Bowl telecast sold for an unprecedented $150,000 a minute...
...hardly super, but neither was the action as one-sided as the score seemed to show. "That Oakland is a good, well-coached team," said Green Bay Coach Vince Lombardi, after his N.F.L.-champion Packers drubbed the A.F.L.-champion Raiders 33-14 in last week's Super Bowl. Lombardi had no such kind words last year for the Kansas City team that the Packers defeated (35-10) in the first Super Bowl. Oakland was clearly a classier club. The Raiders tallied 16 first downs to Green Bay's 19 (one of which came on a penalty); they...
...same flight on a commercial airline. Over the same weekend and at similar savings, Denver's Ports of Call ferried 68 members to Nassau; Cincinnati's Travel A-Go-Go and Manhattan's Society of Sky Roamers delivered 90 members each to Miami for the Super Bowl; World Samplers of Dallas lifted 51 skiers to Aspen, Colo.; and Indianapolis' Voyager 1,000 took 70 members to Freeport, Grand Bahamas. Club planes, like all private aircraft, presently undergo an annual Federal Aviation Agency inspection, but the F.A.A. now intends to start treating them as if they were...
Whatever the destination, the flight alone is often memorable. Consider the Sky Roamers, bound from La Guardia in their DC-7 for the Super Bowl. Their trip started off like many a commercial flight-that is, an hour behind schedule. But once aloft, the pace quickened. Glad-handers jammed the aisle. Miniskirted stewardesses squirmed through, bearing trays of drinks (none of that two-to-a-customer routine here) and sandwiches. Shoes were shucked...
...Though the flight took four hours (v. 2 hrs. 15 min. for a jet), club members were paying only $111 each for round-trip air fare, two days of food and lodging, and a ticket to the game -nearly one-third less than the cheapest Super Bowl package offered by the airlines. And one economy leads to another. Social Worker John Butler, 58, joined the Roamers in early December, "so I could do my Christmas shopping in St. Croix." There are also less tangible rewards. Says Manhattan Pharmacist John Herzlich, 40, who joined with his wife: "I have to admit...
