Back at the sundial there is a large crowd. It's clear we've got something going. An offer comes from Vice President Truman to talk with us in McMillan Theatre but Rudd, after some indecision, refuses. It seems we have the initiative and Truman just wants to get us in some room and bullshit 'til we all go back to sleep. Someone suggests we go sit down for awhile in Hamilton, the main college classroom building, and we go there. Sitting down turns to sitting in, although we do not block classes. Rudd asks, "Is this a demonstration...
Because of the small staff, Graves added, "one disadvantage will be that we can offer only a small number of electives."

Like his daddy, he prefers to come from off the pace: two weeks ago, at New York's Aqueduct Race Track, he made up four...
...aircraft weighed out just about the same," said United President George E. Keck. "All three are excellent products of engineers' genius." What finally decided United on the DC-10 was what Keck called "favorable contractual terms." In other words, to come closer to Lockheed's $15 million offer, McDonnell Douglas had cut down its price per plane by almost $1,000,000-to $155 million, including engines. And the cut now applies to the American order as well. That kind of stiff price competition means bargains for the airlines; it also means that both airframe companies will have...
