...speed subway travel, he proposed construction of several new lines, triple-tracking, and staggered working hours for New Yorkers. As for auto traffic, he suggested expansion of cross-town express routes, priority lanes for busses and trucks, more municipal parking facilities, and relocation of the city's cargo docks so that freight-laden trucks would no longer burden Manhattan streets...
...army's heaviest trucks and tanks, yet nimble enough to land on short, front-line airstrips. It will make possible direct flights from the U.S. to any trouble spot in the world, also has enormous potential as a commercial carrier that could transport both passengers and air cargo on international flights at much lower fares than at present. It will fly 30% faster (550 m.p.h.) than Russia's huge AN-22, which is only a turboprop, carry twice the payload. Ten C-5As. could have handled the entire Berlin airlift, which required more than 140 lumbering...
...blue-and-white bus screeched to a stop outside Houston's Astrodome, with its cargo of the hottest - and angriest - team in sport. "C'mon, dammit!" yelled Manager Herman Franks. "Go get 'em!

But the Czech embassy, caretaker for Castro in Washington, invoked sovereign immunity. The State Department assented, and the attachment was thrown out. (Backing up the doctrine was an informal agreement between the U.S. and Cuba to return "hijacked" property; the day before the defection, Castro...
Growing Pains. Though inland shippers carried 9.8% more cargo last year than the year before, they are facing some unpleasant growing pains. Wage costs have doubled in the last 15 years while rates have actually fallen because of competition, especially from pipelines (oil accounts for 16% of Germany's total waterborne tonnage). Traffic is so heavy that barges frequently stack up in jams several miles long behind such bottlenecks as the locks on the Wesel-Datteln Canal, thus delaying the delivery of goods...
