...while Lionel picked up, but it fell back again, losing a whopping $4,500,000 in 1962 alone. Entrepreneur Cohn also bought a swimming pool company, invested in a New York City bus line, a small loan company, a national travel agency, helped form syndicates that promoted two Patterson-Johansson heavyweight championship boxing matches in 1960 and 1961, and last year's Patter-son-Liston fight...
...most debated experiment in U.S. plane fares in many years is something called one-class service. Started only five months ago by United Air Lines' peppery President W. A. ("Pat") Patterson, it is an effort to take the cramp out of coach travel and the expense out of first class with a single service that provides some of the first-class amenities at fares somewhat (10%) above coach rates.

Patterson is still bothered by the tragedy. Asks he: "Do narrow aisles and sardine seating provide adequate evacuation of jet aircraft? In all good conscience, just how many passengers...
...causes conflicting with hers. Old Friend Ethridge could indulge his retirement plan to teach a once-a-week seminar on newspaper management at the University of North Carolina. The rest of the time he would run the paper and hold a sort of private seminar for Newsday Staffer Joseph Patterson Albright, 26, Alicia's nephew, whose succession to Harry Guggenheim's paper and Mark Ethridge's new job is, according to present schedules, only a matter of time...
