...EMBARGOES: If a war takes place, anything is possible. The important thing is to prevent war. But Arabs did not invent this boycott weapon. How many years have you employed a boycott against Cuba?

The view from Hartford is that Christianity will be too weak for sustained attack on social evils -or for anything else-unless it first seeks the transcendence, power and will of God.

In fact, Transmar was leasing Freelandia the DC-8 as well as providing management services for a fee. More disgruntled employees complained of having to invent daily alibis for club members who demanded refunds for canceled flights. Aggrieved members could be repaid only when cash came in from sales of tickets for future flights, and the amounts owed piled higher and higher. Though 45 coast-to-coast flights were made, only six flights to Honolulu were...
