Mansley, in his thin-soled brown French shoes, inspected bread rings going at fifty cents apiece (ten of those little red coupons), gazed stolidly at the immobile Dutch windmill and the Blarney Castle, and meditated briefly upon an Indian almond-candy called barfi...
Sandwiches may be open or closed, ruled Sir William P. Hildred, I.A.T.A. director general, but they must be "cold . . . simple . . . unadorned . . . inexpensive," and consist of "a substantial and visible" chunk of bread. The association ruled out "materials normally regarded as expensive or luxurious, such as smoked salmon, oysters, caviar, lobster, game, asparagus, pate de foie gras," as well as "overgenerous or lavish helpings which affect the money value of the unit." Carriers that have been serving just such lavish sandwiches consoled themselves by reflecting that the ruling, after all, did not affect the chef's imagination. Said a spokesman...
Even in Havana, correspondents were harassed by cable censorship and capricious if ineffectual monitoring of outgoing phone calls.

The International Air Transport Association has agreed that airlines may serve only sandwiches on their new cut-rate transatlantic flights v. free full meals on regular flights. Pan American, which still considers the sandwich...
...Airlines, which have been trying for years to outdo each other with fancy extras that sell more tickets, as chief purveyors of smorgasbord-type sandwiches on their flights. Samples (from the SAS menu): five slices of ox tongue, a lettuce heart, asparagus and sliced carrots-on a slice of bread; five slices of liver pate, fried crisp bacon, mushrooms and sliced tomato-on a slice of bread. Seconds are available for the asking, and SAS, for one, passes around a tray from which a passenger may take as much as he wants. But European airlines insist that they are perfectly...
