...even better than 1969. The whites are fruity, low in acid, round and full of character, comparable to 1962. All Burgundy prices are bound to rise at least 15%, after a dramatic decline over the past two years; whites, which have not had a good year since 1969, may climb even higher. The Burgundies should be mature enough to drink in three or four years...
Reconstructing events, Yugoslav authorities were told that the DC-9 had been cleared shortly before the crash to climb to 35,000 ft. But the area around Zagreb-a key sky junction of routes to Turkey, Greece and Mediterranean resorts-is one of Europe's busiest air corridors, and the Yugoslav pilot was unaware that the British Trident was already flying at that altitude. Zagreb's air controllers may well be responsible for this fatal error. The preliminary opinion of Vjeceslav Jakovac, the Yugoslav judge heading the investigation, was that the controllers probably had incorrectly assessed the altitude...

...that was not repeated. But "final sales"-sales of products that do not go into inventories-rose at an annual rate of 4.7%, 1% more than in the first quarter. Orders for durable goods gained 1.4% in June, less than in May but still a healthy climb. That, economists say, means the G.N.P. pace should pick up in the current quarter...
