Doubling Sales. The F228 flies in the prop wash of Fairchild Killer's ubiquitous C-119 Flying Boxcars and C-123 transports. Financially troubled during the late 1950s after these contracts ended, the company flew low for a few years, picked up altitude with orders for its F-27 and F227 propjet airliners and for helicopters. In September 1965, Fairchild Hiller acquired Republic Aviation Corp., suffering at the time from production phase-outs of the F-105 fighter-bomber, and subsisting on F-105 modification orders and subcontracts from other aerospace companies...
Taking the Lead. Representatives of the 61 I.C.O. member nations-both producers and consumers-met in London last week to thrash out a solution to the price problems. Because of slack demand, coffee has slipped in the past year from 4310 per Ib. to 3810.

As in her fine first novel, Firedrake (TIME, Feb. 18), Cecelia Holland writes a spare, masculine prose and applies the technique of the good U.S. western to her feudal lords. She avoids the stage-prop flummery that clutters so many historical novels, and in her dialogue she steers a middle course between the "Prithee, m'lord" school and modern idiom. Most surprising of all, she is only 23 years...
