LESS CROWDED AIRPORTS. The Civil Aeronautics Board is trying to persuade the airlines to route more flights through smaller, "satellite" fields that are at present underused. Greater use is already being made of Oakland airport outside San Francisco and Hollywood-Burbank in Los Angeles. At the main airports, lines increasingly are busing passengers to and from their planes when space at the regular gates is tight. Expanding airport facilities can be difficult, and not only because of the costs. At Los Angeles International Airport construction of a new terminal to handle foreign flights has been long delayed pending preparation...
...orders brought delight to beautiful downtown Burbank, Lockheed's headquarters, and to Airbus Industrie's offices in cities across Europe. At Lockheed, which almost went bankrupt a few years ago, partly because of long production delays and lagging sales of the TriStar, happy executives called the Pan Am order for a dozen planes, plus an option for 14 more in the mid-1980s, the "order of the century."

...Music is an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's classic comedy about mismatched lovers, Smiles of a Summer Night. Perhaps to avoid potentially odious comparisons, Prince has switched the setting from Sweden to turn-of-the-century Vienna, but he might as well have shot the film in a Burbank TV studio. A wizard of stagecraft, he seems to freeze behind the camera. Since the photography is usually static and the editing monotonous, the lyrical flow of the original production evaporates completely. The movie's arty opening and closing scenes, which suggest that we are watching a play within...
