...prestige enormously and won new popularity among Algerian Moslems. Bourguiba, ambitious to lead a united Mahgreb of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, presumably felt the need to demonstrate to the F.L.N. and to the Arab world generally that he is no "imperialist lackey," but can be as anticolonialist and as pan-Arab as anyone. Furthermore, Bourguiba's earnest and devoted friendship seemed to have gotten him nowhere with France, while the F.L.N.'s intransigeance promised to succeed brilliantly...
...billion so far this year, the nation's eleven major domestic airlines collectively have lost some $20 million in the first half of 1961. Trans World Airlines alone lost $10 million, while Eastern, National, Northeast, and Western also turned in deficits. On the usually rich North Atlantic run, Pan American dropped close to $2,000,000, and this month its big jets were winging to Europe little more than half full. Says American Airlines' President C.

...finding commission in their effort to eliminate the flight engineer from the jet crew, on the ground that the jets already carry three pilots (v. only two for piston craft) and that the simpler engines do not require the attention of a fulltime engineer.

Though Pan Am retained its 30% holdings in Panair, Miranda bought up the other 70%, mostly from Panair's Brazilian directors, for an estimated $5,000,000. A self-made millionaire-he is Brazil's biggest insurance broker-elegant Celso Rocha Miranda has ordered eight French Caravelle medium-range jets to put his new enterprise on a competitive footing with rival Brazilian airlines Varig and Real...
...Harvard graduate, Composer Anderson started out with more classical ambitions, built his reputation as a "Tin Pan longhair" only after a nine-year stretch writing arrangements for the Boston Pops Orchestra. He turns out about three of his capsule compositions each year, numbers such as Blue Tango, Trumpeter's Lullaby, Sand Paper Ballet. (He also wrote the music for one Broadway musical-Goldilocks.) His method of composition is as surprising as his success: "There's nothing like getting a good title," says he, "and working backwards...
