What Bill Tunner wants is a fleet of swing-tailed jet aircraft that could lift fighting troops or 20 tons of freight nonstop over 4,000 miles. With a new type of big turboprop cargo plane that MATS wants to develop, Tunner says he could haul for 4? to 5? per ton-mile what now costs 23? on the C124 Globemasters. But MATS is in the sniping sights of the civil airlines, which last year got $85 million worth of business from MATS. (The total military business with the airlines last year, including movements of military people under travel orders...

...Trier Township High School in Winnetka, Ill., a pretty, blue-eyed young woman, who might be mistaken for a home economics teacher, instead makes an unusual approach to the teaching of high school English. Karin De Long spiritedly guides her students through challenging books, then has them find and lift out techniques to use in their own writing. Any kind of writing-mostly good, but sometimes bad-is fair game for Teacher De Long. One week she may give her class Chaucer, another week Thomas Hardy, another a collection of Japanese Haiku (17-syllable poems). "I want to see both...
