...Sallum escarpment, a narrow, sandy ridge between sea and impassable salt flats where British and German armor fought several World War II battles, tanks and planes rumbled once more. In one battle, claimed Cairo, Egyptian troops knocked out 40 Libyan tanks and disabled 30 other vehicles at the cost of one truck and one wounded soldier. Next day bomb-laden Egyptian jets swept across Libya, inflicting heavy damage on an airbase at El Adem, near Tobruk...
Efficiency Ratings. Without waiting for Washington, California has set standards so tough that fully 80% of the air conditioners now sold there would be outlawed by 1979.

Lance's shares, bought largely at a premium price, cost him more than $3.3 million in borrowed money. At one point last week their value had sunk to $1.7 million.

In the bill, the neutron bombs were only labeled...
...first quarter of 1977, the increase would have been even greater had it not been for the stiff competition from charter airlines. Industry experts believe Pan Am's and TWA's experiments on the London route could show the scheduled carriers how to lure cost-conscious travelers without cutting into present economy-class revenues. After all, with more than a quarter of all Pan Am's seats between New York and London now being flown empty, every seat sold to a passenger who would not have gone at all without the cheap fare is money...
