...much time is left to start replacing obsolescent airplanes-so the big carriers have begun moving on aircraft purchases that could total $80 billion by the end of the 1980s. Last week two lines signed deals for $1.3 billion, the first sizable jet buys since the airlines' fat years of the 1960s. Pan American World Airways ordered $500 million worth of wide-bodied L-1011-500 TriStars from California's Lockheed Corp.

...additional very serious inflationary pressure in our country." Vice President Walter Mondale and the Council on Wage and Price Stability (COWPS) also condemned the increase. Privately, some officials recalled with approval President Kennedy's crack about the genealogy of steelmen* and made sarcastic, and misleading, references to a fat salary increase that they thought U.S. Steel Chairman Edgar Speer had collected. (In fact, Speer's combined salary and bonus was $372,972 last year, down from...
