...executive and an imaginative, activist chief of the Federal Aviation Administration. He also showed himself to be accomplished in personal public relations, seldom failing to remind audiences that he was President Kennedy's principal adviser in all aviation matters. Pilots who met him at the gossip sessions known as "hangar fly-ins" took to greeting him with the line: "Halaby thy name. Thy will be done, on earth and in the heavens...
...hear his friends tell it, Lyndon Johnson has turned into just another hill-country rancher. He helps lay irrigation pipe, frets about his cattle and the weather, works on his memoirs and papers, entertains a few close friends, watches an occasional movie in a converted hangar at the ranch (he invariably falls asleep).

...dusk as an El Al Boeing 720 taxied out for takeoff from Zurich's Kloten airport, carrying 17 passengers, a crew of eleven and 27.5 tons of highly inflammable fuel. Suddenly, from a cream-colored Volkswagen parked near a hangar, four young Arabs rushed forward. At a distance of 80 yards, two opened fire with automatic rifles; the others hurled a package of dynamite, which failed to explode, and incendiary grenades, which went off short of the huge Israeli airliner...
