...line numbers are on the increase -for example, Boston's DE 8-1212, Cleveland's MA 1-1234, St. Louis' CE 1-1212; in some cases they bring police cars screeching to the scene in as little as two minutes. Things would be even simpler if U.S. police had a nationwide number like West Germany's 110 or Britain's 999, which can be dialed unerringly in the dark...

"I've been playing like a Yo-Yo," he complained. "It's my concentration; I can't seem to keep my mind on the game."

The partners have been forced to plan ma jor structural changes and to push back the Concorde's delivery dates from 1970 to 1971, cutting its lead time over the planned U.S. supersonic craft. The Concorde will also cost more than originally intended: buyers will not pay $7,000,000 or $8,000,000 but closer to $10,000,000. Such airlines as Alitalia, El Al and Air-India have ordered the U.S. supersonic plane instead...
