...Odds Over Bobby. Much of the credit for the paper's verve belongs to its publisher, O. Roy Chalk, 58, who bought it from a Dominican expatriate in 1962. Though he runs a vast business empire that includes the Washington, D.C. Transit System, Trans Caribbean Airways and some choice parcels of New York real estate, Chalk devotes a minimum of one full day a week to his paper, and he writes many of its editorials. On the day after the New York power failure last November, it was on Chalk's order that El Diario ran a black...
...Chalk is now beginning to get some competition from a second Spanish-language tabloid, El Tiempo, which changed from a weekly to a daily last October.

During the Florida season, Chalk's Flying Service of Miami ferries as many as 5,000 vacationers a month to the Bahamas, often runs 18 flights a day. Chicago's Executive Airlines specializes in flying newsmen to the scene of riots and disasters, also frequently carries such luminaries as Bob Hope, Barry Goldwater and Jackie Kennedy. Every weekday a Cessna 172 floatplane from Lake Union Air Service whisks Chip Prentice, 7, between his island summer home on Puget Sound and school...
...together between lecture engagements and airport departures, is largely a testament to the diversity of the U.S. Whether describing a loggerhead shrike in North Carolina or an egghead racist in New Orleans, wandering over Beverly Hills ("reminds you of the environs of Florence and Fiesole") or Washington, D.C. ("the chalk-white city half in love with Time"), White displayed even in this disjointed, unedited chronicle the wit and insight that made his novels classics in their author's lifetime...
