...companies that venture abroad know that they must be ready to deal with all manner of complications involving local pride and pocketbooks.Still, there are few precedents for the problems faced by Arthur G. McKee & Co., a Cleveland engineering firm that does a $154 million-a-year business designing and building industrial plants around the world. Independence-minded employees of the company's subsidiary in Rome, Compagnia Tecnica Industrie Petroli (CTIP), are staging an outright corporate rebellion...

...Aviation is growing so explosively that we are not even now properly prepared to predict its full measure," says FAA Administrator William ("Bozo") McKee. "This is no exercise in abstract thought. There is an immediacy to the need. The jumbos [Boeing's 490-passenger 747 jets] are coming in 1969, and the supersonic transports will follow. Not only the airways, but the airports must be ready...
