Munro feels that the win over defending champion Cornell was a psychological boost, but said, 'Today we'll be going from the frying pan into the fire. We must have a good performance to be in the game," he added...
...carrying more people, jumbos should reduce the total number of planes in the air. But on the ground, they will disgorge as many suitcases and passengers as three planes do now-and all at once. Says Najeeb Halaby, former administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency and now president of Pan American airlines: "There will probably be only one airport in the world ready for the superjets, and only one parking lot, only one set of highways. And," he adds, "they are not all at the same airport...
...everyone suffered cutbacks. TWA came out unscathed. It will be granted new runs to Hong Kong and Guam, linking with existing trans-Asian routes, and will thus become the U.S.'s second round-the-world carrier (after Pan Am). Flying Tiger's all-cargo service to Japan remained intact. The two established U.S. airlines in the Pacific, Pan Am and Northwest, came in for minor rejiggering.

Because it is so big and steady, J.W.T. may change all this. It has 800 clients around the world, including Ford, Unilever, Pan Am, Eastman Kodak and RCA. In the past month, it has picked up the accounts of two big-billing brewers, Hamm's of St. Paul and Guinness of England. A majority of clients have been with the agency for 20 years or more, and its employees have an average tenure of seven years, which is a long time by Madison Avenue standards. Thompson has increased its billings by 36% in the past five years...
