...Douglas. The manuals call for removing and remounting the engine and pylon separately-and preferably with an overhead lift and sling that can support the weight of the two assemblies more precisely than a forklift. Yet the FAA agreed with American Airlines that the manufacturer was aware of the one-step operation, which cuts maintenance time in half, at American hangars...
...lashed out at airlines whose procedures have been "contrary to McDonnell Douglas recommended procedures." Although not named, American Airlines knew that it was one target of the attack. American Vice President Donald J. Lloyd-Jones insisted that two McDonnell Douglas representatives had watched the airline change its very first DC-10 pylon on April 17, 1977. He also claimed that the manufacturer had observed numerous such changes since then and never objected to the one-step method. He termed the McDonnell Douglas charge "gratuitous and unnecessary." (The manufacturer withheld comment...
...there evidence that any effort was made to sort out the questions of purpose and theme that the film inevitably raises. Dealing might have been turned into a casual parody of the counter-culture and its discontents, if its promise had been carried through.

Everything that radicalism has run to has had a middle-class ogre at the other side of the room.

...bill, which is likely to be accepted by the Senate, raises the maximum debt to $358 billion-$22 billion above the present figure-and effective July 1, 1968, provides for a further "temporary" increase of $7 billion. The original proposal, for a one-step increase this year to the same total of $365 billion, was opposed by House Republicans in a gambit to make headlines with their economy-in-Government line, and they carried along enough Democrats to win. In the second round, Mills and the Administration prevailed by preaching party loyalty and simple economic sense to the Democratic defectors...
