...Dyke Show's Rob and Laura Petrie. Since Bewitched's Samantha cheats, by cleaning the house, keeping her husband and generally managing the drudgery of life through her powers of witchcraft, that leaves the title of TV's favorite average housewife to Laura Petrie by default, and it's a shame.

British Aircraft Corp., maker of the $2,800,000 BAG One-Eleven, has lined up 74 orders and 16 options from airlines, including three customers in the U.S.-American (25 planes), Braniff (14) and Mohawk (5). Deliveries will begin in a couple of months, nearly a year ahead of Douglas, but Douglas hopes that many airlines may hold off ordering until its plane takes...
