...Europeans are disputing U.S. dominance as never before. The challenger is the Airbus A300, made by a French-German consortium with a Spanish junior partner?and financed by all three governments. It is the world's first twin-engined wide-body jetliner, and it can carry up to 310 passengers for almost 50% less in operating costs per seat mile than the stretched version of the 727, which has similar capabilities. In a sense, the Airbus is the finest American plane that the Europeans could build; its highly efficient engines are produced by General Electric. The Airbus Industrie consortium...

Some companies have started to put junior executives on the cramped, cut-rate flights (while senior managers, complaining of the crush on commercial lines, are clamoring for the firm to buy more executive jets).

...attention to the home folks is not. When he is campaigning, he stays in people's homes most of the time, relishing the hot breakfast and a chance to listen. He hands out questionnaires, urges his people to "get inyour two cents' worth." He has some 200 junior high kids in the Fithian youth groups. For five hours' work in the Fithian cause they get a blue T shirt with his picture on it and the slogan HE WORKS...
