...ears such as The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction. But this year ABC had doped out Aubrey's own patterns and produced hits like the gimmicky Bewitched and the slyly prurient Peyton Place. Moreover, the outlook for next year was not good. Big CBS sponsors, such as Lever Bros., General Foods and Bristol-Meyers, took hunks of their business elsewhere...
...Flight Operations John Konrad took his plane through a series of 360° turns only 20 ft. off the ground, then flew backward and forward with equal ease. Both pilots then reached for the one cockpit control that would have been out of place in a conventional plane: the lever that controls the two powerful screwjacks that can turn the wings until they point skyward or roll them back into standard flight position (see cuts).

Last week there was no bickering. "I am proud to agree," Lesage announced with emphasis...
...blessing. In starting from scratch the third time, the company virtually scrapped hand-assembly methods, today makes 75% of its watches by machine. As a result of its super-efficiency, Hattori claims to have been for five years the non-Communist world's largest maker of jeweled-lever watches. Last year it turned out 5,900,000 wristwatches, 53% of the Japanese total, this year expects its output to rise...
