DARLING. Julie Christie's stunning presence enhances this ironic tale of a jet-set playgirl who finds that the road to ruin leads straight...
...Tents. Around South Viet Nam's four present jet fields-Danang, Chu Lai, Bien Hoa and Saigon-are clustered most of the rest of the U.S. presence in Viet Nam. On the "hot pads" at the runway ends of each stand the silver planes, bombs aboard, on phased alert: the first wave is on five-minute call, the next on 15-minute call, then a group on 30-minute call, finally a wave on an hour's notice. On the average, within 17 minutes of a platoon leader's radioed call for help, the jets...
...Stork's business was thinning. In 1960, Billingsley pathetically issued absolution to all the banished. They did not come back. Their successors may still be called cafe society by some, but they have definitely moved out of the cafes and are more often called the Jet Set. Their haunts now are more likely to be art openings, opera-house lobbies, fashion shows, charity balls or dinner parties of their own. Talent, cleverness and achievement provide their own entree, and the new Jet Set no longer needs Billingsley's imprimatur to distinguish the In people from...
...morning was brisk, bright and blustery when the papal jet landed at Kennedy Airport. There was the customary exchange of greetings with a phalanx of dignitaries, and soon Paul was bundled off on a 24-mile, two-hour motorcade through Queens and Manhattan (including parts of Negro and Spanish Harlem), where more than 2,000,000 exuberant but respectful New Yorkers crushed to the curbstones. In some places the cheering onlookers were packed five and ten deep along the streets, and Fifth Avenue was a solid sea of faces. But embarrassingly long stretches of the papal route were almost bereft...
Added Advantage. These innovations have spurred helicopter manufacturers to take a fresh look at the civilian market. While awaiting Pentagon approval for its HueyCobra, Bell this week showed off a new civilian helicopter-a five-seat Jet Ranger that goes 140 m.p.h., lifts 1,500 Ibs. and is 50% more economical to operate than piston helicopters. Hughes is producing a civilian version of its observation helicopter, and Fairchild Miller, which lost out to Hughes in the military competition, is pushing its FH-1100 as a turbine-driven, $85,000 executive plane...
