...aircraft silhouetted against flaming sunsets or sonorous "Wings of Man" pitches, Delta serves up pedestrian slogans like "The airline run by professionals" and the only slightly more inspired "Delta is ready when you are." Instead of grasping only for the glamour routes, Delta, the offspring of a crop-dusting outfit, has patiently mined the minor metropolises of the South for 42 years. It has eleven flights a day, for example, between Atlanta and Augusta, Ga. The airline's success has paralleled the rapid growth of the South.

...first album, just released by Capitol, is slowly climbing the charts. Meanwhile, the group is getting ready for a nationwide tour. It has been a long wait for recognition. Terry and Toni formed their outfit in 1967, but for four years they played mainly pass-the-hat parties, high schools and local dives. "I guess we're not as aggressive as we would be if we were males," Toni explains. "We stuck together, though, partly because women have a lot to say and they're just not saying it in music...
