...goods, is easily mistaken for "real wealth." Lest you scoff, note the commoners around you who drop names with a straight face, the bar fly who mutters, "I never should have dropped Bauxite," and the man who, professing to enjoy driving his Volkswagen, laughs lightly at a streaking Lear Jet, shaking his head quizzically and mumbling "Nouveau riche." Which is to say, it works, and has been working for quite some time. Convincing people is only a matter of practice and skill...
McCarthy's campaign is growing more professional. He has acquired new aides, notably former Democratic National Chairman Stephen Mitchell, who has a solid working knowledge of convention politics. A rented Boeing 727 jet has replaced older planes that sometimes developed mechanical trouble. His speeches are studded with more specific proposals than previously. He talks in terms of giving the President emergency powers to deal with malnutrition among the poor, and has come out for an international arms-control plan that calls on the U.S. to take the first step unilaterally. He would have the U.S. halt deployment of new offensive...
...secret move left his attorney, Arthur V. Hanes, fuming. He had wanted to go along, said Hanes, because F.B.I. agents aboard the U.S. Air Force jet might question Ray (the F.B.I, said that the four agents escorting Ray had not spoken to him).

What they originally proposed was a tax surcharge only; for them, the spending downhold that Congress insisted on came as a jolt. The combination seemed like a jet pilot applying full flaps at the same time he throttles back. What worries the Council of Economic Advisers is, first, whether the mixture will slow the economy too abruptly, and second, whether there is reserve power to be applied in mid-1969 when, projections indicate, the economy will need...
...with aviation officials and pressmen, the Soviet Union's huge Aeroflot jetliner, the Ilyushin-62, was scheduled to land at New York's Kennedy Airport after a stopover in Montreal. Total time: 12 hr. 40 min. A few hours later, a Pan American Boeing 707-321B jet was aimed for Moscow, via Copenhagen, for the 4,907-mile journey that was scheduled to last 10 hr. 35 min. Both planes were to return the next day, and both of the once-weekly flights will continue, with passengers paying from $548 for 14-to 21-day economy-class...
