...This is like Kafka," muttered tried-and-blue Comedian Lenny Bruce, 37, hung up at Idlewild Airport by customs officials after a fast round trip to Britain, where the Home Office denied him entry. His London nightclub booking set off a parliamentary furor-"If we want four-letter words," sniffed a Tory M.P., "we can train our own people"-but that was the least of Lenny's worries. Back home, he was booked solid. Appealing a one-year jail sentence for an obscenity conviction in Chicago, he faced a similar charge in California, plus two narcotics raps. Wherever...
...good things must end. The King's private party of 25 set out for Idlewild Airport in a modest fleet of black limousines, followed by 45 Moroccan second-stringers in buses, followed in turn by three U.S. Army trucks sagging under personal luggage, crates, boxes and parcels. Hassan then boarded a special U.S. Air Force Boeing 707 for the flight home. Standing by to carry the rest of the party, and most of the purchases, were a chartered Pan Am Clipper and a Royal Moroccan Constellation...
Pacesetter of the "soaring" design was the late great Eero Saarinen's TWA building at New York's Idlewild. Washington also went soaring with Saarinen in its new Dulles International Airport.

There should be 400 of him. A one-man Peace Corps, he has replaced the ancient vices of the troubadours with glistening virtues. He is a lanky, 6-ft. 4-in., clean-cut, blue-jeaned, All-American youth tying the world together with a one-man thread...
...tarpaulin titled Untitled (57) by Lee Bontecou, 32. Combining symbolic materials on one hand and symbolic shapes on the other, Untitled (57) might well express the history of flight: the canvas wings and tenuous struts of Kitty Hawk are molded into the soaring pinions and howling jet nacelles of Idlewild. Bontecou, who looks as if she might have just stepped down from a Dutch Boy paint poster, is not so sure what it all means. "If I could say it, I'd write it down, but it's not like that," she says. "It's all back...
