...this country in 1951 under the Truman Bill. Equipped only with his talent and humor, he has become one of Boston's leading artists and has had successful shows also in Washington and New York. Alcalay's most recent works are ink drawings on rice paper, a painstaking medium in which he shows his ability as a draftsman...
...maker of commercial planes (recently wrested from Los Angeles' Douglas Aircraft), but also gained dramatically in its race to catch up with Douglas and British Aircraft Corp. in sales of short-range jets. United will acquire 130 Boeing planes in all: 70 twin-jet short-range 737s, 30 medium-range tri-jet 727s and 30 "quick-change" 727s with interiors that can be converted from passenger to cargo fittings in 20 minutes. The new 727s will enable the airline to squeeze an anticipated 31 hours more of daily use from each plane by converting it to haul freight...

Terry, who once snared pirates on the China coast, is now in the wilder blue yonder with an Air Force fighter squadron against the Viet Cong. Tired of designing fashions, Winnie Winkle has joined the Peace Corps, and is headed for underdeveloped...
...riding on the Early Bird launch-a $3,000,000 investment in the satellite, $3,300,000 paid to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to make the shot. The corporation also hopes to determine before the year is out which of three satellite systems-Early Bird or two medium-altitude systems-to use in the eventual global network. Even if successful, Early Bird will not mean any quick profits for the corporation. Last week, in an annual report to 190,000 stockholders, the company's officials cautioned that "no assumptions as to the amount of earnings or their...
