During the week new cracks were found in DC-10s operated by United Continental and Trans International Airlines, but were judged not dangerous by FAA inspectors. Some cracks also turned up in another jumbo jet, a Boeing 747 operated by Pan American. These too were considered by FAA investigators to be not critical, and no reason for grounding the nation's commercial fleet of 121 Boeing 747s...
...more than $1,000 a month, vs. $700 two years ago; in Chicago, it is $670, vs. $540; and in Los Angeles, $700, vs. $400.

It even discovered a thin ring of debris around Jupiter, making it the third planet in the solar system (after Saturn and Uranus) known to have such a feature...

Too tall and gawky to play ingenues, she built her stage career slowly, tirelessly touring the U.S. heartlands and Britain in monodramas she wrote and staged herself. Her self-deprecating humor and satirical wit found an outlet in light verse and anecdotal magazine pieces, plays and books, the best known of which was her 1942 travelogue, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, written with Emily Kimbrough.
