...that fool you; it didn't fool me. There's going to be a lot of running in today's game and Cornell's Ed Marinaro will do a good bit of it. Princeton, however, has a bit more talent and is improving faster than Cornell. It'll be surprisingly close for the old Tiger alumnus, but they'll smile to the tune...
...Crises. The old worries about the superficiality of Nixon have been rekindled. He has been preoccupied with deadlines: give him a year; no war criticism for 60 days; we'll do it faster than Clark Clifford wants. These are splendid salves for the wounds, but they avoid the realities. There is no real progress in the pursuit of peace that anyone knows about. There is a middle America, angry at crime and dissent, in tune with much of what Richard Nixon stands for, but to ignore the basic causes of problems is dangerous...

Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart, who addressed Labor journalists covering the Brighton conference, strongly emphasized that point. Britain, he said, is still anxious to enjoy Market membership so as to stimulate export trade, gain access to a guaranteed market and improve technological cooperation. At the same time, he stressed, "we are resolute applicants, we are in no sense suppliants...

Seattle's Boeing Co. has designed it to be a second-generation SST, leapfrogging the European competition. Compared with the Concorde, it will be bigger, faster and cheaper to operate. The airlines have taken 74 options on the Concorde, but have reserved 122 delivery positions on the Boeing SST assembly line...
...spent in the ghettos, it is still debatable whether a supersonic transport is a better investment than, say, an aircraft that could take off and land downtown. Every previous generation of aircraft has been cheaper, safer and more comfortable than the one before, but the SST is only faster. It will be no more comfortable and no more economical to operate than the 362-passenger Boeing 747 jumbo jet, which is due to enter service next year...
