...rebirth of an idealism we once knew briefly believe, even momentarily, in a man who waits for someone else to test the bridge before walking across? It is cruel and tragic that McCarthy, a man of proven moral and intellectual values, a man who can and did stand firm in the face of possible disaster, may be defeated by the so-called magic of the Kennedy name and the synthetic charm of young Mr. Kennedy's smile. One wonders whom and what R.F.K. will be willing to sell out next...
...were one way, but Lockheed lost the SST contract to Boeing. Air buses-giant planes carrying double today's passenger load at subsonic speeds-were another way, and here Lockheed has at least been successful. In a joint announcement last week, TWA, Eastern Air Lines and a British firm called Air Holdings, Ltd., disclosed that they will purchase 144 of Lockheed's 256-passenger L-1011 air buses-50 each for Eastern and Air Holdings, 44 for TWA-at a total cost of $2.16 billion.

On the seating question, progress is being made, since several college and Trustee committees are actively seeking student members...

That, reportedly, was the work of Kleiner, Bell & Co., a Beverly Hills brokerage firm, which holds some 15% of Allis-Chalmers stock. Kleiner, Bell President Burt Kleiner, who had apparently bought in when Allis-Chalmers was selling at around $40 a share, protested that Signal's $46-per-share offer was not enough. Now, though City's offer amounts to only $37 a share...
