...Place in Line. American, Braniff and Mohawk airlines recently ordered a total of 31 British Aircraft Corp. BAC One-Eleven short-range jet transports worth $83.7 million. At the other end of the jet spectrum, among the big long distance models, Continental Air Lines fortnight ago signed up for three Concorde Mach 2.2 supersonic jet trans ports being built by a British-French consortium for delivery beginning in 1970. Pan Am has already ordered six Concordes - and TWA seems certain to follow. The orders are a form of insurance by the U.S. airlines to ensure them a place in line...

Then Albertson strolled to the terminal building-where he fell dead of a heart attack. His passengers could only count their blessings-and wonder what would have happened if Albertson had been stricken a few minutes earlier...
...even what it says. All I care about is how it sounds and the feeling in it." True, it is of only academic interest that a song called In the Bright Mohawk Valley migrated west from stream to stream, new title to new title, until it settled down in the Red River Valley as a Western woman's torch song for her cowboy-errant. Similarly, a British ballad called The Unfortunate Rake, about a soldier dying of syphilis, went through several mutations before it traveled to Texas and became the national anthem of the trackless range, The Streets...
