Thus, the rival medium of TV plastered all over town the biggest Los Angeles newspaper story in more than a decade. By week's end, the whispers that had been circulating for months had turned into fact. Of the city's four newspapers, two had died: Hearst's morning Examiner (circ. 381,037) and Norman Chandler's afternoon Mirror (circ. 301,882).

Convinced that it would be first on the market with a medium-range jet, General Dynamics' Convair Division tailored the plane to the specifications of its first customer, unpredictable Industrialist Howard Hughes, who ordered 30 of the 880s for TWA. But when the planes were ready, it took Hughes a year to raise the money to pay for them. In the meantime, Convair lost an order for eleven more 880s from United Air Lines, which switched to a plane that Boeing had hastily tailored to United...
