...Canadian newspapers this week, full-page ads purchased by Boston's near-bankrupt Northeast Airlines will thankfully proclaim: "Welcome aboard. Howard Hughes!" After stalling off enigmatic Industrialist Hughes for two solid years, the Civil Aeronautics Board last week grudgingly authorized his Hughes Tool Co. to buy 56% of Northeast's outstanding stock from New York's Atlas Corp.

...will readily understand, the ducks have been provided to aid us in our celebration of Easter. Now, a certain element among us may proclaim that there is something wrong in this. Purists may object, on theological grounds, to the intrusion of Eastern paganism in our more or less Christian spiritual life--saying that ducklings, bunnies and the like are nowhere officially authorized as part of the Christian ceremony--but, as any child will tell you, this is a too parochial outlook, not to mention stuffy. Doubtless, a wild-eyed anti-vivisectionist or two will maintain that man herein berays himself...
