...rulers visit the U.S. and, by implication, that Lyndon visit Russia-hints that so far have apparently not been taken up by the Kremlin. He tried to play on the divisions between Russia and China, claimed that for the last four years "no new nation" had gone Communist (technically correct, but hardly meaningful), and gave a low-keyed assurance about the U.S.'s staying on in Viet...
...Green. Exclusive of benefits, of course. Like the retirement plan that guarantees Namath $5,000 a year for life after his playing career ends-if it ever begins. Namath has a bad knee; he reinjured it practicing for the Orange Bowl, and it will take an operation to correct it. Werblin is springing for that too. And just to make sure Joe can transport all that money to the bank, Sonny threw in a Lincoln Continental. Reporters naturally inquired about the color. "Pink?" they asked. Uh, uh. "Jet green," said Namath smartly, and went charging on down to Mobile...
SACLike Control. Seven months ago, Hall launched ''Operation Boot strap," a program to halt losses and retrieve passengers. He switched maintenance to nighttime, when most jets are down anyway, and established a SAClike control center in Miami to anticipate trouble and try to correct it. He also offered incentives for increased passenger loadings, set quotas for on-time arrivals (Eastern had been tenth among trunk lines, with 33% of its planes late). "Bootstrap" achieved its limited goals, and now Hall has replaced it with "Operation Breakthrough." Its ambitious goal: $14.5 million in profits this year...
...first three decades of this century, all sorts of Americans were calling for revolution, but they meant quite different things by it. Some wanted revenge on a society that had neglected them; others, exasperated by the tortuous process of democracy, wanted an authoritarian master who would correct all injustice. Max Eastman simply wanted everybody to be as happy...
...this espionage. Because Klaus Fuchs is a scientist and intellectually arrogant, she suggests that all scientists are peculiarly prone to treason. Because most of the traitors did not be lieve in God, she suggests that Communism or Nazism is the only alternative to faith in God. She is perfectly correct in charging the West, and Great Britain in particular, with egregious laxity in letting Communist spies steal so many atomic secrets. But she is on treacherous ground indeed when she says that this handful of traitors is a symptom of Western decadence and decline. Every society has its misfits...
