Tina Onassis won an Alabama divorce in 1960 on the ground of mental cruelty, and later married the jet-set Marquess of Blandford. The split resulted from Onassis' liaison with Diva Maria Callas, now 44, a decade-long affair that ended only five months ago at Ari's initiative. During their often fiery involvement, La Callas sometimes occupied a suite in Monte Carlo's L'Hermitage hotel, near Onassis' apartment and offices; a tunnel connected the two. Though Callas was most frequently photographed aboard the yacht, it had been Tina who inspired "Telis," as his friends call...
...constant allied watch on shipping along the entire 30-mile length of the Long Tau channel, which links Saigon and the sea, a Viet Cong frogman had attached a 100-lb. charge to the vessel's anchor chain. Damage was minor: one compartment was ruptured, but the jet fuel inside did not ignite...
...activists at the bottom are unlikely to achieve the miracle reforms that skeptics often demand, and many a Doer crusade is quixotic-witness those largely unsuccessful if unflagging dreamers who battle against highway billboards, jet sonic booms and all-digit telephone dialing. All the same, big social explosions these days are usually caused by a pile-up of many small problems-nearly all of them soluble by small-scale activism. The fact is that democracy needs Doers at every level. How can the U.S. ensure that there are always enough to go around? Does it develop them? The answer...
Even as it was talked about in Cannes, Hammarskjold's "new era of real mass air transportation" was taking physical form 7,000 miles away in Everett, Wash. Towed out of a huge Boeing Co. plant came the first aircraft of the new era: the 747 "jumbo jet." After considerable ceremony, the gigantic plane was turned over to technicians to be prepared for its first test flight. Although that flight is not scheduled until December, the 747 is very impressive even on the ground, and its potential is immense. The plane is 231 ft. long, will have a fully...
Boeing's investment remains a gamble. At first, the 747 was designed for long-haul flights at bargain fares. But the original idea has been slightly altered. Fearful of being able to fill 490 economy seats-and of running their present jet fleets out of business-the airlines have all but abandoned the cheap-fare concept. To fill planes at current fares, many are opting for 350-seat layouts and devoting the rest of the space to such frills as 71-ft. movie screens and a "penthouse lounge" that converts to two twin-bed staterooms...
