...member leaped to his feet to accuse the presiding officer, Lieut. Governor Albert Boutwell, of prejudiced parliamentary rulings. To everyone's surprise Boutwell burst into tears, prayed between sobs that "My heart may never become so hard that I cannot shed a tear." Joe Robertson, Governor John Patterson's executive secretary, got into an argument with a house member, angrily called him an s.o.b. The ensuing fistfight was broken up by Public Safety Director Floyd Mann. While state troopers moved into the chambers to prevent other fights, the filibuster droned on.

Capital (and the Civil Aeronautics Board) accepted Capital's disappearance because there was no reasonable alternative; its incautious purchase of 60 turboprop Viscounts seven years ago had helped push Capital to the verge of bankruptcy. But for Hawaiian-born William ("Pat") Patterson, 61, United's president, the deal had more positive appeal. Capital's routes, running chiefly in the Southeast with extensions to the Midwest, neatly complement United's transcontinental and West Coast runs. Because of the nature of its runs, United has traditionally suffered a dip in revenue...
