...stung by gremlins-once on takeoff when a Convair's generator started pouring smoke; again when a bomb was reported (falsely) on his chartered executive jet; again when the same plane was broken into and the crew suspected sabotage; again when part of an engine fell off a Lufthansa Boeing 707 on takeoff; again when a radio transmitter fritzed. At week's end dauntless Willy was up in the air again, flying off to Norway, but he confessed to one major worry: "Will anyone fly with...
...airlines-Pan American, TWA, American, Northwest Orient, Continental, United, National and World Airways-have ordered 70 of the big planes. Other orders have come from Lufthansa German Airlines, Japan Air Lines, BOAC, Air France, Alitalia, Irish International Airlines, KLM and Air-India. Most of the carriers prefer a first-and tourist-class seating that allows for 350 to 362 passengers.

With a range of 1,300 miles, the 580-m.p.h. 737 can carry up to 101 passengers seated six abreast in its 12-ft. 4-in.-wide cabin. That is every bit as beamy as Boeing's longer 707s, 720s and 727s. A stretched-out version, the 737-200, will accommodate 117 travelers, and also comes...
...even a mission to the White House seemed to stem the anti-Erhard muttering. In fact, as he stepped from the Lufthansa jet that brought him home from Washington a fortnight ago, Erhard was greeted by a blaze of unsettling headlines. They spoke of closed-door meetings among politicians anxious to get his scalp. His own deputy party chairman, Rainer Barzel, had huddled with former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Erhard's severest critic. In a hunting lodge in the Vierherrenwald, Bundestag President Eugen Gerstenmaier had canvassed powerful C.D.U. state leaders on Erhard's strength in their regions. It remained...
