...where major airline service is available, businessmen sometimes find the little lines more convenient. Chicago's Commuter Airlines offers 20 flights a day between lakefront Meigs Field and Detroit City Airport. The great jets fly between the cities much faster (in 40 min. or so, v. 1½ hrs. for Commuter), but Commuter customers avoid the long drive to outlying airports and get from downtown to downtown more quickly. Industry analysts expect that mergers will eventually whittle the present 240 scheduled operators down to a much smaller number of well-financed, more closely regulated carriers-and that only...
...only 13 of the 309 drivers finished the race. Burkel, his face and neck covered with red blotches of frostbite, won the overall title and $3,000 of the total $20,000 in prize money with a time of 17 hrs. 46 min. and 36 sec. His reaction to the race was the understatement of the week: "This weather you have here is something else...
...four rookie cosmonauts perform the world's first crew exchange in orbit, serving notice to Americans that Russia has not given up in the space race. Jubilant Russians could point to their first manned-flight breakthrough in a long while. By the time the two vehicles separated 4 hrs., 35 min. later, Tass was hailing "the world's first experimental space station." Then Shatalov, Khrunov and Eliseev landed Soyuz 4 safely some 1,500 miles southeast of Moscow, within sight of recovery helicopters. This display of reentry accuracy overcame the perils of the snowy landing site...
...Savana Bay, Elliot Fishman had just reached the grounds and was still wiping his sunglasses when it happened. "I glanced out," he recalls, "and there was this s.o.b., coming like blazes with his mouth wide open. I struck him, and that brute jumped 19 times." It took Fishman 3 hrs. 28 min. to boat the marlin. At the dock four hours later (during which time it undoubtedly lost weight by dehydration), the marlin measured 13 ft. 1 in. in length and tipped the scales at 845 lbs.-a new world record...
Somehow, Some Way. After 11 hrs. and 40 min., including a stop at Montreal, a stewardess announced that we had arrived over New York on time, and everyone buckled up for landing. Over the cockpit radio, however, Kennedy control was explaining that there were serious traffic delays (because of the tower workers' slowdown). Pilot Egorov also was told that his flight could be given priority for an almost immediate landing. He politely declined, radioing that "Aeroflot Zero Three will go in turn like the rest." In that case, said control, our plane's turn would come...
