...aviation history, $25 billion in plane-building business over the next 30 years. The 2000 is designed to cruise at 65,000 ft., whisk up to 266 travelers at the 1,800-m.p.h. speed of a rifle bullet. It would fly across the U.S. in 2 hr. 10 min. or from New York to Paris in 2 hr. 45 min.* The design draws on Lockheed's extensive experience with supersonic military planes, and engineers have added two safety-boosting innovations. The hinged nose dips 15° during takeoffs and landings so that pilots can see better. So-called "double...
When Labor had a perilous three-vote majority in Commons, Prime Min ister Harold Wilson found it easy enough to keep his party in line.

The Laver-Rosewall match was a triumph for VASSS: a furious, cliffhanging battle between the two most accomplished shotmakers in tennis today. Best of all, it lasted exactly 25 min. The experiment proved so successful, in fact, that the pros are planning to use VASSS in several more tournaments this year. A few more such successes, and maybe the International Lawn Tennis Federation, which controls amateur tennis, will fall out of love with love...
Last week at the U.S. Track and Field Federation meet in Terre Haute, Ind., Miler Ryun loafed through his specialty in 4 min. 2.8 sec.-just fast enough to leave his nearest competitor 15 yds. behind. But he also competed in the half mile, an event he has entered "only five times before," ran the 880 yds. in 1 min. 44.9 sec.-beating Peter Snell's four-year-old world mark by .2 sec. Shrugged Ryun: "I had to do something to break the monotony...
