...taken on the seemingly impossible task of condensing the whole work into one two-and-a-half-hour evening, with surprisingly successful results. None of the original five parts is wholly dispensed with; and the eight acts have been compressed into six scenes. Moss has rightly stuck to the main theme of the work. He has pared away the lengthy digressions and the superfluous characters (such as the comic takeoffs on the British statesmen Asquith and Lloyd George...

San Francisco's cos-t-conscious Southwest Airways has cut ground stops to only 120 seconds, but maintenance and operating costs keep going up. "A spare part that used to cost maybe 80^," explains one airline man, "runs about $5 now, and has to be specially made." Even if the feeders, which operate with an average load factor of 45%, could boost their...
