...flowers arrived by the thousands, from the humble and the great. Relatives came and went. Moran, stooped and frail at 82, drove up two or three times daily to examine his patient, then read his simple, unemotional bulletins to the shivering newsmen outside. For 18 hours a day, bowler-hatted Detective Sergeant Edmund Murray, Sir Winston's longtime personal bodyguard, kept order in the crowded street. When Churchill's life appeared to be ebbing, Moran relayed Lady Churchill's request that reporters and TV crews disperse. Within minutes, the arc lights winked out, endless coils of wire...
...that the Piccadilly store, dating back to 1707, is changing drastically under the direction of Garfield Weston (TIME, Oct. 26, 1962). Since the Canadian bread and grocery magnate (more than 700 stores in Britain) acquired Fortnum's in 1951, emphasis has shifted away from foods. Britain's bowler-hat and mink-coat contingent can now shop at Fortnum's for women's wear, men's clothing, leather goods, linens, even TV sets.

From a standing start, sales revved up to $31,921,995 last year and an estimated $67 million this year. Two other Japanese firms (Suzuki and Yamaha) have jumped in to share the bonanza, and their combined sales will amount to about $28 million by year...
...medium-to-short-range jets. Last month Boeing sent one of its three-engined 727s to strut its stuff on a 14-day tour of five South American countries. It was the first jet ever to land at La Paz (elevation: 13,358 ft.). As bowler-hatted Indian women gaped at the sight, the silvery 727 howled down the runway and took off -using only two of its three engines. No less impressed were the Peruvians, chief among them President Fernando Belaunde Terry, an amateur pilot with considerable time in light planes. Flying out from Lima for a demonstration ride...
