...something known as "uptown rhythm and blues"-the first attempt to make R. and B. more palatable to the white audience. Uptown R. and B, was so named not because any downtown brand existed, but because in the offices of what had once been New York's Tin Pan Alley, some of the best young white producers and writers were turning out new song material for all-black groups like the Shi-relies, the Drifters and the Cookies.

Solidarity started crumbling late last month when a dozen carriers began advertising $199 to $220 round-trip youth fares between the U.S. and Europe, lopping as much as $253 off regular peak-season "economy" prices.

Pan Am, the only U.S. carrier with direct service to Brussels, quickly followed Sabena and set an identical rate. Then the French government, fearing that the Belgian action would divert Paris-bound Americans to Brussels, promptly ordered Air France to introduce a $220 New York-Paris round-trip fare. This...
