...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. United, the nation's largest domestic airline, already uses one-class service on 30 daily flights across the U.S. Next week it will more than double the number...
...Louisville Courier-Journal. "I need you out here, Mark," said Guggenheim. Said Ethridge: "I'll do everything I can." He flew East, thinking he knew exactly what Harry wanted: a friend's guidance during the difficult period of adjustment following the death of his wife, Alicia Patterson, Newsday's creator and editor (TIME, July 12).

In 1954, after a disastrous attempt to run it like a D.C. edition of his Chicago Tribune, McCormick sold his paper to Meyer...
...whole idea, Cassius insisted, was "to make Liston mad." One night Sonny slapped Clay's face when Cassius taunted him in a casino on the Strip. Just before the fight, Cassius bounced into the ring, solemnly shook Patterson's hand, started for Liston's corner-then threw up his hands in mock terror and dived for the seats. The crowd almost busted laughing. No sooner was Patterson counted out than Clay was back, shaking off cops, grabbing a microphone, proclaiming "That was a disgrace. They should apologize for wasting my time on that farce." At Liston...
