FIVE years ahead of schedule, Quesada has set up radar-controlled jet expressways from New York to Califor nia and from Florida to Gander by persuading the Air Force to let FAA men use its radar facilities. He has worked out a common airspace system for both military and commercial planes, opened thousands of square miles of "restricted" military space to commercial carriers. He prefers to use soft talk instead of a big stick, but he can hit hard, especially when pilots fail to realize that jet planes require a much closer watch than older, slower planes...
...followed the mob. With a fellow Trib reporter, he crouched for days in a car near Chicago's taxicab union headquarters, discovered-by the simple reportorial expedient of training binoculars on the visitors, and now and then riding a city bus past the building for a close-in gander-that it was crawling with thugs, hoods and hired guns.

They did their job and returned to New York. When the mechanics passed through a gate at Idlewild International Airport, one of the unseen Geiger counters that monitor international travelers chattered an alarm; some of the work clothes they were wearing were radioactive. At the Pan American dispensary, they were decontaminated and pronounced...
...India for a gander at its industrial progress, New York's ex-Governor Averell Harriman found New Delhi newsmen singularly intrigued by his now dormant role in U.S. politics. Did he have any chances of securing the presidency? "No chances at all," said Honest Ave. But, demanded another, did the Governor have White House ambitions? Answered Harriman, somewhat more briskly: "Neither-no chances or ambitions...
