...front of the imperialist press-and yet you say that you are fighting imperialism!" Strong-armed Russian males formed a human wall between the reporters and the Chinese as the exasperated chairman adjourned the meeting. The role of peacemaker fell to Guinea's Jeanne Martin, president of the Pan-African Women's Conference, who got the Chinese ladies off the platform by promising them a later chance to speak...
Catching his international competitors with their flaps down, Pan American World Airways President Juan Terry Trippe last week proposed a new "thrift class" on jets to Europe. Instead of one-way economy tickets to London that now sell for $270, Trippe would offer the ride for $160 on planes with the same amount of leg room but no meals or hard drinks. The government-owned European airlines, many of them losing money on the run, are expected to howl, but Trippe argues that they would actually increase profits by packing in passengers where galleys used to be.

With his wide ears and open face, he looks something like a young Dwight Eisenhower after sophomore year at San Quentin...
...effort received an unintentional boost from the Concorde consortium, which has set up a cozy delivery plan under which only Air France, BO AC and Pan Am will receive the first 18 planes. Since production of the 18 will probably run well into 1969. the U.S. may be able to deliver its SST to the rest of the world's airlines almost as soon as the consortium can, thus capture a good part of the market and hopefully help to repay a big part of the Government's costs...
