...airlines were making so much money that, in the public interest, rates ought to go down. The CAB thereupon decreed that there should be no surcharge on routes newly converted to jet. The airlines, claiming that this decision would cost them some $50 million a year, raised a hue and cry. There the matter more or less rested until last week-when the CAB accepted a compromise offered by United Air Lines President George Keck...
...brightest hue of all is green. Though the state has taxed the illegal liquor trade since World War II, it managed to collect only $5,000,000 last year-and revenue-poor Mississippi could use a lot more. Johnson has in mind a state-run distribution system similar to that in Washington state-which with approximately the same population collected $42 million in liquor taxes last year.

Engineer Nguyen Tran Lo, 48, has been ambushed some 50 times, wears a Buddhist good-luck medallion under his faded blue uniform. When Lo's yellow and green diesel rumbles north from Saigon...
...will probably reject Ky's offer but continue to subsidize the line to keep it rolling. Increased U.S. air cover and tougher-shelled turtles should be able to secure the key 240 miles of track that link the American enclaves-particularly the stretches from Danang to Hue and Saigon to Bien...
