...which has just been started this year." Professors Henry Hatfield and Harry Levin are not quite so enthusiastic on the subject of tape recorders, the former remarking that "we haven't gone overboard on machines, but we are waiting to see how they work out.

Upon "volunteering" to join a commune, members turn over to it virtually all their private property, including homes, garden plots and heavy tools.

It may be tough to do: much of Eastern's equipment is twin-engined, needs no engineer, and qualified pilots can operate as engineers on long-range, four-engined aircraft...
...American Airlines' 1,500 pilots also set a deadline for a strike this week. As with the engineers, the issue is higher pay (up an average 15% a month to $1,900 for senior DC-7 pilots) and a contract with the line specifying that the "third man" in the cockpit of the new jets will be a pilot as well as an engineer...
