...embarrassed by the publicity that he has received ("I don't like running a law office in the public press"), McLaren took his law degree at Yale in 1942. Since then he has spent most of his career specializing in antitrust cases at the Chicago firm of Chadwell, Keck, Kayser, Ruggles and McLaren. As head of the American Bar Association's Antitrust Law Section since 1967, he updated a 1955 report on antitrust activities, and was recommended by his colleagues as an unusually well-qualified candidate...

At last, when Congress approved a new gallery for the National Collection of Fine Arts in 1958, the Smithsonian could look forward to having a proper showcase for its Ryders.

...flow limits at congested airports. Nowhere is the saturation of the market-and sky-more glaring than on the run between Chicago and New York, which, with 110 daily flights each way, is one of the world's most heavily traveled routes.

One way to accomplish that would be to set up a computerized pool arrangement that would enable competing airlines to keep track...
...competing airplanes, along with a third, Boeing's 747-300, are almost identical. "On a technical basis, all three aircraft weighed out just about the same," said United President George E. Keck.

In other words, to come closer to Lockheed's $15 million offer, McDonnell Douglas had cut down its price per plane by almost $1,000,000-to $155 million, including engines. And the cut now applies to the American order as well...
...with such statistics in mind that United, TWA and American, in addition to seeking to restrict the hours and days their "Discover America" fares may be used, proposed to abolish their $200 excursion fare for transcontinental round trips and get the price back to $217. United President George Keck describes such moves as "a logical first step" toward raising airline profits. This amounted to a broad hint that next year the carriers may ask for a general fare increase, their first since...
