...staff chartered three Learjets for Sunday in case the blizzard knocked out the regular commercial airlines that normally carry the films of the editorial pages. It did. When the blizzard finally blew itself out, there were 30 in. of snow on the ground and O'Hare International Airport was closed...
...different story and in September told it to the DEA in Paris. Bario, he said, had allowed him to keep the coke in order to split the profits from its sale. DEA investigators eavesdropped as Picault set up a meeting with Bario in Chicago's O'Hare Airport, and they were on hand as $4,000 in marked bills was transferred.

...calling it, is also a disaster of major proportions. At least 100 people died battling the elements and hundreds of millions of dollars were lost in snow-stalled production, sales and wages. In Chicago, hardest hit by the blizzard, virtually nothing worked for the entire week. O'Hare International airport, normally the world's busiest, was closed for a record 42 hours.

...possible that CENTO has outlived its usefulness. A State Department official argues that CENTO is cited in Washington these days as "exactly the sort of thing the U.S. should not do in the Middle East today." In the 1950s a ranking U.S. ambassador in the Middle East, Raymond Hare, summed up the U.S.'s minimum interests in the region as "right of transit, access to petroleum, and absence of Soviet military bases." That probably remains the bottom line today. Toward that end, the U.S. may have to step up technical, economic and (very selectively) military aid. Already...
