...crippling blow. Paying private landowners an average price of only $180 an acre, the Port Authority last year quietly began to acquire 39 square miles on the edge of Big Cypress Swamp, which supplies 38% of the park's water. As originally stated, the purpose was to build a "training" jetport for five airlines, whose landing fees will finance a $10 million bond issue for the first runway, which Eastern Air Lines will open next month. Able to handle the new super jets due in 1970, the field will divert up to 200,000 training flights a year from...
...ourselves and our causes-myself included. It seems to me that we've needed something bigger than all of us for some time now to put mankind in the right perspective. I would not say, "If we can put men on the moon, why can't we build adequate housing or feed all our citizens?"

...front of the museum fly 14 flags representing the nationalities of the patrons who contributed funds to build it. Among them are Novelist Alberto Moravia, Philosopher Martin Heidegger and Composer Igor Stravinsky, Film Directors John Huston, Ingmar Bergman and Jean-Luc Godard, Diplomat George Kennan and Heart Surgeon Dr. Christiaan Barnard.

The two old rivals still struggle to outdo each other in size of fleet and fortune, and are now engaged in a fierce competition to win a Greek government contract to build a huge shipping and industrial complex. Though they get most of the publicity, they are only the two most conspicuous men in a large group of Greek shipping magnates, most of whom are known in nautical circles as the "other Greeks." While the Golden Greeks ardently seek publicity, the other...
...John C. Carras, 60, inherited a small line that his grandfather started with a rowboat. Carras has built it into a 1,000,000-ton fleet, partly because he was early to appreciate the abilities of the Japanese to build ships at low cost. Of the 19 ships that he now has on order, 17 are being built in Japan. - Nikolas Papalios, 56, went into business after World War II with a 210-ton fishing boat, built in 1895, that he converted into a freighter. By 1957, he owned five small ships and was able to buy a U.S. Liberty...
