...sixth in which members of a U.S. athletic team traveling as a group were killed and the second in which an entire team was wiped out. The first was in 1961, when all 18 members of the U.S. figure-skating team perished in the crash of a chartered jet in Belgium. Federal regulations require charter pilots to pass stiff medical and flying tests and hold small charter firms to almost the same strict maintenance requirements met by big commercial carriers. The DC-3 in last week's crash was almost 30 years old but, according to officials...
...themselves. Says Jim Bakker, high-pressure preacher of TV's P.T.L. (for People That Love) Club: "If Johnson Wax didn't have an identifiable name, how would one know to buy it?"

Julia Child's 1961 book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and her superbly low-key, artfully maladroit TV demonstrations were immensely influential in persuading her fellow citizens that serious cuisine is not some kind of Gallic voodoo but rather...
...Houston, or Rita Leinwand's in Los Angeles. A five-lesson program can cost as much as $350. Boston alone supports 29 cooking schools, teaching everything from dicing to making Dampfnudeln. Whether for culinary kudos or to master grande cuisine, Americans sometimes spend $3,060 (not counting jet fare or hotel bills) to take a twelve-week course at the newest, Inmost school, La Varenne, in Paris...
