...West Coast family dead set against the war. "Why," he wondered last week, "it's the first time my sister and I have ever deeply disagreed." A Kansan reflected the spreading disenchantment by likening the war to "running a foot race with one foot stuck in a slop bucket." Military Historian S.L.A. Marshall, a retired brigadier who agrees with most military men that the U.S. should have "either gone in there to win or cut and run years ago," senses the pessimism himself. "Last spring," he says, "I felt we had a year...
...door hardtop with swept-back body, the Javelin boasts the kind of features that the sports-minded car buyer seems to prefer-streamlined hood, bucket seats, split grille and sunken door handles. Also available are such options as a zippy 280-h.p. engine and racing stripes. Roomier than the Mustang, but with a price in the same range (about $2,500), the car itself not only stands to catch on, but, says Company President William Luneburg, its sporty look should also "give the showrooms a traffic boost" for other lines...
...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 of chartered planes and a staff of ten, now has 23 aircraft...
...adults, the Z picture stands for zzzz, but for teenagers, it's strictly zowie. It goes with such titles as The Brain Eaters, The Bucket of Blood and Little Shop of Horrors (which was filmed in a record two days on a starvation budget of $37,000). A.I.P.'s classic horror title was I Was a Teenage Werewolf, which caused traffic jams at drive-in theaters and earned $2,000,000. Similarly, A.I.P. has made quick killings on bargain-basement Biblicals (Goliath and the Barbarians, Goliath and the Sins of Babylon), on way-outer spaces (Angry Red Planet...
...Bucket Brigade. As consternation spread in the coastal counties of Devon and Cornwall, Prime Minister Wilson set up a ministerial-level emergency committee to coordinate local and national measures, named it "Operation Canute," after the 11th century English king who ordered the waves to recede-and got dunked. When all hopes of salvaging the tanker and its remaining cargo died, Wilson ordered several flights of fighter-bombers to zero in on the Torrey Canyon, then headed for his vacation retreat on the oil-threatened Scilly Isles to watch the action. For three days, the planes plastered the Torrey Canyon with...
