...sympathize, perhaps, with the reference to George Alpert of the New Haven Railroad as an "old (63) Boston attorney." His job would bring Peter Pan to senility in no time. But is there no hope for the rest of us-or, for that matter, for TIME itself, which does not stand still and which must now be pushing closely for the designation of an "old (fortyish) newsmagazine...
...that something was wrong. "I know they don't move the sun, and it was on the wrong side of the plane," recalled a nervous lady. At Miami International airport, FAA radar observers were aware of trouble, too. Efforts to raise the plane by radio failed. An eavesdropping Pan American pilot on a training flight slid his jet close by to identify the Electra. From SAC's Homestead Air Force Base came a fully armed F-102 to hover watchfully 5,000 ft. above the hijacked plane...

...half a dozen years, Pan American World Airways' aggressive President Juan Terry Trippe, 62, has been hoping to open a direct New York-Moscow air route. Last week in Washington, U.S. and Russian negotiators sat down again to discuss the subject, and Trippe was on hand to advise the U.S. team. Both sides are agreed on twice-weekly flights, but the Soviets are demanding "on beyond" rights for their Aeroflot line to fly from New York to Castro's Havana-something that the U.S. refuses to grant...
