...brace as a result of the broken back suffered in a 1964 plane crash. His future? "I'm just feeling my way," he said then, "day by day." He did some limited campaigning for Hubert Humphrey. He starred at a couple of fundraisers to offset the $3.5 million deficit left from Robert's presidential primary campaign. Gradually his humor and sprightliness returned. But in front of the fireplace in his new home in Virginia, into which he moved with his wife Joan and their three children last March, he appeared distant and dreamy when the subject...

If urged, Watson will admit that he saved the Postal Department $10 million last year. What matter if the postal service's deficit is still running at more than $1 billion a year?

...biggest loser was Eastern Air Lines, which ran an $11.8 million deficit in this year's first eleven months. It failed in a bid to broaden its horizons to Pago Pago, Papeete and other South Pacific spots. Not even close connections in the White House did much for an other loser, American Airlines. Its former chairman, C. R. Smith, is Johnson's Commerce Secretary, but American's application for a Tokyo run was rejected...
