...most important were aimed at an odd pair of bedfellows - Israel and West Germany. Following up plans decided on at the Arab Summit in Alex andria last September, the conferees agreed to push ahead toward cutting off Israel's water with the building of a pumping station on the Wazzani River, which flows through Lebanon and Syria into Israel. By a series of locks, tun nels and canals, the water is to be fed around Israel and into Jordan...
Utah Democrat Calvin L Rampton is about as popular a new Governor as a state ever had, trusted and respected by business, admired by labor. But Rampton is determined to push through a massive bonding program for new state construction, boost both state income and corporate-franchise tax rates, and repeal the state right-to-work law over the opposition of the powerful Mormon Church. Should he succeed in his program to "get Utah moving," Cal Rampton certainly stands to lose some friends...
...William Liley applied simple, practical reasoning to the problem. Anything he did, he figured, must be for the better-"You couldn't possibly do any harm to the baby, because it couldn't be worse off than it already was."

Through the bore of the heavy-gauge needle, he then inserted a thin plastic tube. And through this...

Others insisted that since all pilots are trained to push engine throttles forward when they want more speed, they might get confused at a dangerous moment if they were compelled to pull the wing control backward for the same effect. The second faction won. Now, with a plane that can fly to any place in the world in a single day, F-111 pilots will still be handling controls as familiar and reliable...
Everybody's race is against the British, who almost won by default. Not since 1953, when the British introduced the Viscount turboprop, have they made such a determined selling push. British Aircraft Corp., maker of the $2,800,000 BAG One-Eleven, has lined up 74 orders and 16 options from airlines, including three customers in the U.S.-American (25 planes), Braniff (14) and Mohawk (5). Deliveries will begin in a couple of months, nearly a year ahead of Douglas, but Douglas hopes that many airlines may hold off ordering until its plane takes...
