...great birds (wingspan: about 7 ft.) go through such distressingly gooney antics that Navymen long ago dubbed them gooney birds. Among other things, they need large, clear areas to take off and land, and they find airports ideal. The friendly gooney birds lay their big eggs on or near the runways, rise in clouds as if to welcome planes on landing or to see them off on takeoffs. Often they fly smack into an airborne craft. They have dived into propellers, smashed against expensive radomes, causing about $300,000 damage a year. Far worse is the ever-present danger that...

...Americus hospital, is back for office hours in Plains by 9. Says he: "I average 15 to 20 patients a day, and have worked every day since I came here.

...face heavy layoffs in the next few weeks. General Motors has already laid off 60,000 of its 330,000 production workers, will lay off another 60,000 this week. Chevrolet's Framingham, Mass, plant is closed; all but three of Chevy's other twelve assembly plants go down this week. Some of Chrysler's plants are on a four-day basis, and the companies may have to close some parts and components plants altogether this month because of the two-week to one-month lead time for steel to be fabricated after shipment from the mill...
