...grew up on a farm which showed an income of considerably less than $3,000 a year, now live five blocks from an airport where jet flights depart and arrive, had parents who also loved but with five other children had little time to "listen," and live in the same sad world as the lamenting college student...
...weeks ago, he gave a dramatic demonstration of the resources available to an American President and his readiness to put them to use. On less than 24 hours' notice, he assembled an entourage of four jet planes and 300 people and spent the next five days in a dizzying, 26,959-mile circuit of the globe. The original reason for his cyclonic odyssey was to attend services for Australia's Prime Minister Harold Holt. Characteristically, Johnson transformed it into a microcosm of his coming campaign...
...million package that includes refinancing $475.6 million of outstanding debts. Thus within a fortnight, three of the nation's four largest trunk carriers tapped the tightening money market for some $700 million in fresh funds. Cost Squeeze.

They are committed to buy $10.5 billion worth of new jets (including options...

In demonstrating how it could do the job, Lockheed's Cheyenne rolled down the runway at 50 m.p.h., stopped, reversed direction, then did a series of intricate ground maneuvers before lifting itself 10 ft. aloft and hovering in that position. Extending and retracting its landing gear, the craft climbed to 30 ft. and, in helicopter fashion, backed...
