More and more, Goldwater complains that because of his coast-to-coast campaign commuting, "my backside is taking on the shape of an airline seat." In mid-April he returned from a hectic California trip and laid down the law to his staff. "If this is the way it's going to be," he said, "I'm through...
...Coast-to-Coast Shock. The reaction was immediate. In a speech to the American College of Trial Lawyers in Miami Beach, A.C.T.L. President Whitney North Seymour said that Belli's conduct "shocked all of us." Belli's denunciation of the judge and jury on TV, said Seymour, "cannot be allowed to pass by those responsible for maintaining the image of the American lawyer at home and abroad...
...Boeing 707-321C jet freighters, each of which in one week's normal schedule can car ry coast to coast enough freight to fill 20 boxcars. Using prepacked freight pallets, special lift mechanisms and aircraft floors with built-in rollers, crews can load and unload jet freighters in less than half the time it takes to load a piston plane with one third the cargo capacity. Air freighters can offer overnight delivery on both coast-to-coast and transatlantic shipments...

Birdie, about to be drafted, makes a trip to Sweet Apple, Ohio, where he is to bestow his last leering kiss--coast-to-coast--on Kim MacAfee, typical teenage fan (played charmingly by Carol Ketty). In Sweet Apple he runs into Kim's father, Gilbert Nussbaum, who counters Birdie's laughable lecheries with wonderfully ineffectual tantrums. The father's rage subsides, briefly at least, when he appears...
