Burns, the U.N. truce supervisor., has repeatedly warned the Egyptians to stop putting up "check points" inside the zone. The Israelis chose this area to attack...

United's engineers have been running "paper-jet" flights across the U.S., figuring speed, payload, turn-around time, maintenance costs, etc., to give Patterson the information he needed. He chose Douglas' DC-8 over Boeing's 707 because he feels that it has more room for improvement, the same big stretch that permitted Douglas to beef up its DC-4 into the DC-6 and DC-7. Even so, the first models will have plenty of speed...
