...Guardia and Kennedy, Newark, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The controllers, who are entitled to eight free "familiarization" flights yearly on domestic airlines, wanted one "fam flight" on U.S. international carriers. Northwest, Pan Am and TWA are resisting on the grounds that U.S. controllers do not direct landings abroad. Late last week, pressure from a federal court persuaded controllers to end the slowdown, at least temporarily, but the issue of free flights remains unresolved. Also, in many of the Midwest and Northern Pacific states, the air snarl has been aggravated by a pilots' strike at Northwest, which struggled...
...which also is a major aerospace manufacturer and food processor, is keeping quiet about its postmerger plans, at least until after shareholders of both companies vote in late August or early September to approve the linkup. All LTV has said is that it will not close Youngstown's Indiana Harbor mill, near Chicago, which could feed raw steel to Jones & Laughlin's Hennepin, Ill., processing plant and give the enlarged combine a fully integrated facility in the Middle West.

...wanted to be a stage director?that was legitimate!" says Beatty, "and I wanted to write for the theater. I sort of backed into acting as a way of learning the theater."

Such tales about Beatty are legion. He rarely, if ever, is on time for any kind of appointment: Agent Sue Mengers, a friend inured to his late arrivals, says she now "plans buffet entertaining if Warren is coming to one of my parties." Wealth makes him uncomfortable. He would rather hear Mabel Mercer sing in a quiet club than boogie at Regine's; he owns a Cartier watch, but prefers to wear a Timex. An articulate man who refuses to use either Hollywood lingo or the latest L.A. hip-speak, Beatty likes to take long pauses in the middle...
...late in the afternoon, and he was dressed in an old West Point bathrobe of blue and gray wool which displayed the Army "A" on its back; occasionally he puffed on a corncob pipe. We rejoiced together that we alone understood the Japanese peril to America; in this sympathetic mood, he began to reminisce. He had been a young first lieutenant when he came here after graduation from West Point in 1903; he had fought the little Philippine brown brothers in the Aguinaldo insurrection. He had commanded a U.S. division in combat in World War I; had been Chief...
