...week Pan Am, which lost $7.6 million in January alone, asked the CAB for permission to discuss combining a number of its routes with TWA, which lost $21 million in January. The request raises antitrust complications and will have to be cleared by the Justice Department. If approved, the partial merger likely would allow Pan Am to abandon some foreign cities now served by both lines-London, Paris, Rome, Frankfurt and Lisbon-and pool its revenues with TWA on other international routes.

After his appointment as vice president, Ford continued to defend his record on civil rights (citing his support for the Philadelphia Plan to hire more blacks as a partial counterbalance) and on foreign policy, which he says should be bipartisan and so presumably exempt from far-reaching criticism. "That bipartisanship deteriorated in 1971 and '72 as far as Vietnam was concerned," Ford complained to U.S. News and World Report, citing his own support for President Johnson's Vietnam policy...
