...American and Eastern that it has been able to fill only 7.1% of its first-class seats and 58.5% of those in the coach section. Since 1968, Trans Caribbean has picked up new routes to the Virgin Islands, Haiti and the Netherlands Antilles. It has been unable to exploit these routes fully because its fleet consists of only nine jets. In the twelve months ending Nov. 30, Trans Caribbean actually flew only 81% of its scheduled aircraft miles. Many flights were cancelled for mechanical reasons or because of bad weather...

An artillery officer with the British Army in World War II, Eliav later worked with the Jewish underground and earned himself a place high on the British mandatory administration's wanted list.

By insisting that it will continue to keep Langer on its varsity squad, Yale hopes to provoke that debate, but unless the Ivics support Yale to the utmost- and that means withdrawal from the NCAA...
...made Marooned raised a disturbing and fascinating problem: How can stranded astronauts be rescued in space? During the first half of their space saga, they exploit the mental -and national-tensions implicit in the plausible nightmare. Since the hardware and space-shot techniques resemble the real thing as seen on TV, there is an aura of verisimilitude about the mission. But the project is scrubbed after a disturbing word is flashed onscreen: Intermission. After that, Marooned rates about one-half out of a possible...
