...Harvard attack was still running pretty well, thanks to a bunch of St. Lawrence penalties--the Saints had six on the day. But no matter how many pucks floated across the crease, none got past MacLiver...
...this is precisely the kind of counterintuitive thinking that has drawn Diller admirers and partners like investment banker Herbert Allen and Tele-Communications Inc.'s John Malone. In practical terms, however, Diller's plan would seem almost too counterintuitive, given the fact that Silver King stations currently produce almost none of their own programming. Thus Diller will presumably be forced to build up separate stables of talented programmers all around the country--a formidable task, as anyone who watches television will know.

But such technological glitches are fast becoming routine in the nation's air-traffic-control system. By the National Transportation Safety Board's reckoning, anti- quated tracking equipment freezes up, shuts down or fizzles out all too often. "There is not one day that goes by without our losing radar or radio communication with an aircraft," says Joseph Fruscella, president of NATCA's eastern region. "It compromises safety on a regular basis...
