I am a "real" Southerner-a statement I make with some pride-and in the next breath I say I am embarrassed and saddened by the words and actions of individuals like Tom Linder.

In a city noted for ill-concealed adultery, Bogart is famed as a faithful husband...

Not a drop of fuel spilled from the wing tank; the basic wing structure was undamaged and the two underslung engine nacelles appeared only scratched. But the maiden flight of the 707 would be delayed at least several weeks. The faulty landing gear would need careful study, perhaps even a complete redesign by Boeing's engineers. The left wing root and damaged flap would have to be repaired and the two left engines checked for damage...
